Do you mean for the in-app sounds like when you like something? I keep those turned off, so can't help you there, but my Facebook notifications sound is my default sound and my Facebook Messenger sound I keep changed back to the old Facebook Pop sound they used to have it as. I did this in the system settings, not the apps, I believe.
yes when you go jnto facebook setting the push notification sound is "facebook" I want to change it but it doesn't

Where is the sound setting? I know I've found it before, but I can't find it now.
privacy and settings, settings, notifications, scroll down to Push, then sound

Thanks, I wasn't tapping on the Push button before to get to that page. All the tones are greyed out and you can choose a different one, but it doesn't stick, like you said. Weird.
I think it's a Facebook bug

Or a feature.
Facebook wants everyone to have the same tone. That way, its victims will all get a tiny dopamine rush when any of the phones around them have an alert. They then all check Facebook . I've seem it happen.

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

since its the desire z rom, that should work but if not.. if you have the latest version of gmail, it doesnt have the option anymore.. uninstall the update, go to settings in gmail, do what you need then update again

Here's how I set it to do "silent notifications" with the newest version of Gmail:
a) Open Gmail
b) Hit Menu > More > Settings
c) Select your email address under "Account Settings"
d) Scroll down to "Notification Settings", select "Labels to Notify"
e) Select "Inbox", select "Ringtone", set to "Silent". Hit "OK". Back out of all the menu stuff.
This way, the status bar will still let you know when you have mail (so you can check it at your leisure) but will also NOT ring annoyingly when you have mail
(Of note: This works at least through Gmail v2.3.5, which is the newest in the Market (and one version that is shipped in the GApps pack add-ons for CyanogenMod based ROMs). Pretty much one of the very first things I tend to do in setup )

That's rather odd--I'm using the latest version of Gmail available in the Market (v2.3.5) and do have that option--that said, Google seems to have made it explicitly difficult to set the thing to not ring when an email comes in (or at least non-intuitive, compared to earlier versions).
There IS a menu option to turn off notifications altogether (both ringing notifications AND in the status bar)--consists of Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (select yer email address, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you'll need to do this for each one), scroll down to Notification Settings, uncheck "Email Notifications".
If you merely want to turn off ringtone notifications for email (as opposed to all notifications--that is, if you don't want the thing blooping at you when you have new mail but DO want the status bar to indicate when you have mail) this gets more complex: Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (per account) > scroll down to Notification Settings > Labels to Notify > Inbox > set Ringtone to "Silent". (There is also a checkbox for "Email notifications" in that same section that you can use to turn off the status bar notification--if for some reason you want it to bloop at you but NOT notify you in the status bar.)
(I am in the "Non Blooping For Email" camp, and with the newest version of Gmail this gave me minor fits until I played with it a bit and found out how to do it )
Thank you for the replies everyone. It was rather unintuitive but at least its possible

He just wants Gmail notifications to be silenced, not to miss notifications/ringtones for EVERYTHING.

I am running virtuous unity 2.35, which includes the latest version of gmail. There is an option to silence notifications in the latest version of gmail.

Ok, you're Sally.
I was wondering if someone could tell me where the menu choice is to assign a ringtone to my incoming gmail mails? I don't see it where I normally do. I have assigned custom ringtones to my text messages, Google Voice, RINGTONE, calendar events and email without a problem -- I just don't see the same setting choice in Gmail. I'm problably looking right at it and missing it, but... if someone could help, I'd sure appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

I just want it to be silent haha.
I don't think there is an option for a custom ringtone. Not in my version of Gmail anyways. I think it falls under the Notification Ringtone in the Sound settings.
You can change it by going into your Gmail then click on menu/more/settings/"youremail" then scroll down to " Labels to notify" choose "Inbox" you will see Ringtone - My Gmail then you can choose what ever ringtone you like.. Hope that helps
or by settings in noled in accessability

Your directions were perfect, jmares! Thank you so much for the info. I knew it was there somewhere, but I guess I didn't click further into that particular box's setting. I now have a custom ringtone for gmail again. It was much easier to get to/change when I used gmail on my HD2! Anyway, I hope this helps others, too!

is there a way to change notification sound per app / notification type (like iOS)?
I want different noises for my twitter, reddit, email, tetxt, etc.
Thanks

Anyone know a way to change the default text message ringtone on Google messages? I can set them individually, but that's a pain.
Long press the app > (i) Information > Notifications, and from there you will probably be able to set a default notification ringtone.

No dice.
Not sure if this is what you need. Go to Settings. Then Apps. Go to the app you want and there's a section to change the default sound. I did for a number of apps already.

There are 2 Messages apps. I tried both and the attached screenshots were the ones I changed tones. Hope that helps and I hope that was what you were after.
