When you turn off the sound, be sure to restart your smartphone, which will help you apply system-level changes, so if the sound is still playing, move on to the next way.

Method 2: Changing the sound profile or theme

In MIUI, unlock sounds are sometimes tied to a current design theme or sound profile. If the standard shutdown didn't work, try:

⚠️ Note: Some Xiaomi firmware after settings system update ADB If the sound comes back after the update, repeat the procedure.

Method 4: Using Third-Party Applications
