How to Stop ‘continuous notification sound Android’

Solution 1: How to disable notifications on the stock of Android

There is a difference in the way of disabling notifications in various Android versions. In this post, we will mainly focus on some latest versions of Android.

2. Disable notifications in Android 7.x and 6.x

In these versions, you just follow these steps and it will be done: Settings -> Sounds & Notifications -> App notifications -> Block all.

Or tap one by one app to silence the sound.

3. Disable notifications in Samsung Galaxy Devices

Samsung Galaxy Devices is a little bit different from the other Android devices.

Basically, you just go to Settings -> Notifications -> turn notifications off. Unlike other Android devices, Samsung devices are more convenient as you just slide an apps’ toggle to the off position to disable notifications for any application like WhatsApp.

With those steps, you will be successful in disabling notifications that may annoy you.

Secondly, if you just want to silence the notification temporarily, you should try “Do not Disturb” mode.

Solution 2: Turn on “Do not disturb” for temporary silence of notifications

When you enable Do Not Disturb, your notifications still come out but they don’t make any sounds.

To turn on this feature, I’ll divide into two kinds of Android phones:

  • Most of Android phones: go to Settings -> Sound & notification -> Do not disturb.
  • Samsung Galaxy phones: tap Settings > Sounds and vibration > Do not disturb > Enable as scheduled.

However, you can make an exceptional list of apps or phone calls, messages from some contacts. It means that just apps you allow to notify can ring.

Similarly, you can set some specific contacts as “Starred” and then allow messages or phone calls from these people to bypass Do Not Disturb restrictions. To do so you do the following steps:

Step 1: Tap the “star” next to the contact’s name.

Step 2: Go to Settings -> Sounds -> Do not disturb -> Priority Only Allows -> set the Messages and Calls options to “From starred contacts only” (or “Favorite contacts only” in Samsung).

This mode is helpful when you want to sleep well at night or concentrate on something without being interrupted.
