Is the Discord notification sound getting on your nerves? Maybe you want to switch it up? This is actually more possible than you think, though it’s only Windows and Android devices — Macs or iOS devices unfortunately are out of luck.
There is no “official” list of notification sounds to choose from when you start using Discord, but there is still a way to change them. This may be more challenging than you think but it is achievable. Read on to find out how to change the Discord notification sound.
How to change Discord notification sound on PC
If you’re using the Discord app on your Windows PC, you can change the Discord notification sounds, but only if you’re using the desktop app. Discord can be customized enough for us to edit votes even if it doesn’t have a preset for it.
The first step would be to go through the application flies and using a plugin called BetterDiscord. With Files, you can change the notification sound by editing the configuration files that the application saves on your computer by itself.
Follow the steps below to change Discord voices in files:
- Download the sounds you want to use in Discord.
- Now press Windows + R button on your keyboard.
- Type the following: ‘%appdate%’ and click OK.
- Open the folder that appears. (It will most likely be under C:/Use/Username/Appdata/Roaming.)
- Next, go to the Discord app and open the Cache folder.
- The audio files are listed with “F_prefix” and you’ll need to add the .mp3 or .wav extension to each file to check the effects played on each.
- Now, to replace your Discord sounds with custom ones, rename the new sound file with a name that matches Discord so everything stays organized and working.
- Then copy the downloaded sounds and rewrite them in / Appdata / Roaming / Discord / Cache.
If you face any issues like crashing or other issues, delete the app and reinstall it.

However, it’s normal to feel anxious about messing with the Discord app’s files, and if you don’t want to, you can use BetterDiscord which is a client mode that you can download and you can modify the app’s appearance and functionality. You can use the mode to customize by simply opening the custom plugins.
