I have the CDMA galaxy nexus and for some reason no matter what notification sound I choose (inside Gmail or in the Android settings menu), it always plays a whistling sound at the end of the currently selected notification. Anyone know how to get rid of this ?

settings - sound - down at the bottom, you're probably annoyed by touch sounds

No thats not it , that seems to be just a click sound when I make a menu selection. I am talking about a bird / whistling sound, it plays when I get a notification like email or text. First I hear my currently selected notification sound but right after that it plays the whistle.

Does anyone know how to change the volume of the audible selection tone? It's the one that makes a sound when ever you press something on the screen.
I swapped out the default one with the one from the Galaxy S, but it's so faint I can't hear it. I've tried adjusting all the setting with sound manager from the market but have had no luck...

Try: Settings>Sound>Volume - options are presented there.
Post back whether this gets you where you want/need to be.
Absent that, have you tried the volume rocker on the side of the device?
I've tried all the volume settings, nothing seems to make it louder...
Figured it out, apparently it's controlled by the 'Media volume'.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but this might help someone.
I'm running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, and had an extremely loud "audible selection" volume. The fix was so simple but I didn't realise it... I just went to Settings > Sounds > Volume and saw "Ringtone" and "Multimedia". Adjusting these did nothing. But I had to SCROLL DOWN the tiny little dialog box and there was revealed a "system sounds" slider!
Success!
Hello,
I've changed my default ringtone for all incoming calls with a louder old phone type ringer. I've never changed sms tones before.
Can I have specific sms tones for specific incoming sources? Eg. all friends on one tone and a special one for my office? None of the tones are loud enough for my environment and I do get a lot of texts from the office and for whatever reason they insist on texting emergency requests instead of calling me.
Thanks
Download Zedge from the market then download notification tones and after you download them and hit the set button in the app you have the option to set that tone for whatever you want.

You can hook your phone up to your computer and put any sound you want into the "Notifications" folder. Those will then show up when you go to select them.
You can assign different apps to ring differently, and assign specific contacts a ringtone. Not sure about groups, though...

Thanks - I've installed Zedge, I then went to my phone system options, sound, default notification. If I select zedge, it says there are no tones. Is there a place to load it on my phone from my computer? I don't need any katy perry songs, just a really loud ring or buzzer. I put a custom sound in my internal storage notifications folder - I'd like to make that the default sound for only one sender of texts, everything else could have the default sound.

Thanks I tried a few different sounds but no matter what I pick when a new text comes in I only get a very quiet ding dong type sound.

So you're saying when you go into Settings > Sounds > Default notification, no matter what you set it to your incoming notification is different? Even with stock sounds?
Have you gone into Messaging > Settings > Choose ringtone, and select "Default ringtone" from the scrolling list. Does it change? It should play the sound when you touch it.

Yes- no matter what sound I choose even stock sounds - I get a double chime - kind of like ding dong. I'm using full stock Verizon GN. No rooting.
I can change the default ringtone for phone calls.
I did also reboot after changing the default and I still get the ding dong type sound which is not the sound I set for it. The sound it makes is Pollux for incoming SMS messages but I've tried to set it to several others such as even vega or proxima but it always makes the Pollux sound.
I'm going through
- settings
- Sound
- default notification
Is there some place else I should be going to to change the sms incoming text sound?
I cant get my default notification sound to change - I can change the gmail new email sound to change from within the gmail settings but for pop email, sms etc the sound doesn't change no matter which sound I pick?
Am I doing something wrong?
Tks
Have a look at the guide below.

Personalizing with sound sets
Each sound set gives you a different combination of sounds for your ringtone and notifications such as incoming messages, email, calendar event reminders, and more. By switching between sound sets, you can instantly make HTC One X ring or alert you with fun sounds when you're out with friends or change to subtle sounds while you're at work.
Creating a sound set
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
On the Sound sets screen, tap .
Enter a new sound set name, and then tap Done.
The newly created sound set is then added to the list of sound sets. You can assign different tones to the sound set to your preference.
Changing your ringtone, notifications, and sounds
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Choose a sound set you want to customize, or create a new one, and then tap Apply.
Change the ringtone, notification sound, and alarm from the Personalize screen.
HTC One X automatically saves your choices to the current sound set.
Deleting sound sets
Slide the Notifications panel open, and then tap > Personalize.
On the Sound tab, tap Sound set.
Tap .
Select one or more sound sets you want to delete.
Tap Delete.

I think the poster meant that regardless of which sound you set as notification sound, it will still use the default notification sound. Just to clarify, even though it wasn't necessary as I've owned an htc android phone before, I did read the guide as i was stumped too. I can select any custom sound for notifications, it just doesn't use it. It's different for email notifications though, that will use the sound I set without problems... Anyone have a fix? It was like this since it first came out of the box.

Happened to me on an earlier release of leedroids rom I just reinstalled and it fixed it
If on stock all you can do it factory reset or run a RUU.

I have a random notification sound on my phone and I can't figure out what it is. It's like a "reverse doorbell" if you can picture that. Instead of DING-ding, it's ding-DING...so low ding to high ding. When I go to my phone there is nothing in the notification area.
I don't have a ton of apps installed, about 3 pages worth when I pull up all of them.
I feel stupid for not being able to find out what's doing this, but I'm starting to get frustrated. Thanks for any help!

Try this: Go to into the Sound settings of your phone and navigate to the notification sound setting. Go through all the sounds and find the sound that matches the one you are hearing. Note the name of the sound and then go into each app that has a notification sound and see if any of the apps currently are set to that notification sound.
Or this: Turn off all notification sounds for all apps that give notification sounds (email accounts, calendar, SMS apps, etc). Confirm you no longer hear the sound and then one by one start enabling notification sounds for each app. Hopefully you will be able to pinpoint which app is making the sound.
Hope this helps!
Dingding
Did you check to see if your gmail account had notifications turned on? Mine kept making that ding-ding noise until I figured out how to disable it.

Ha, I was hoping to avoid this (going through each app) but that's what I did. Turns out it was Yahoo Mail. I turned off the notifications at the top of the screen, but they hid the notification "sound"! Thanks for your help!
Changed my default notification and ringtone sound to one that I downloaded. It plays fine when I select it in the Settings --> Sound --> Ringtone/Notification. However it does not play when I get a call or a TXT. And yes, my volume is up.
On a side note, I am so ticked that I cannot set the ringtone and notification volume levels independently!! I cant stand the wait for ROOT so we get some good ROMS

Maybe a dumb question, but have not installed any type of profile app right? I use profile apps so I can quickly change to different setups for night, meetings etc.
Well I do have Sound Manager installed. Since the ringtone and notifications is tied together right now, this app is mostly useless.
I did verify that sounds were turned up. Once I selected a sound that is included with the phone everything is fine. really a pain.
