anyone know how to turn off the notification sound?

[snowwy66]

it's the default sound for email. i had no problem turning off on my aol email. had to research to turn off for gmail. but now the damn thing plays on it's own. for no appareant reason.

sometimes it's quiet for a few hours. but then it just kicks in about every 15 minutes. after a couple of hours it quits. a few hours later it kicks in again.

it's getting annoying. didn't do it when it was set for email. but i din't need no sound for email. i can look at the screen. so now it's shut off. but it insists on just ringing.

Is it ringing to notify you of a text message, calendar reminder, etc...? When the notification goes off, what appears in the notification bar?

it's the default notification sound. i've changed the text sound. and shut off the email sound. but the damn thing still rings. for no reason.

there are no notifications. it just rings. it's gotten to the point that now i turn the volume off to vibrate. just so i don't keep hearing the damn thing. i wanna sleep. not hear the phone.

I also notice the notification sound will occur without any notifications appearing in the pull-down. I'm thinking some internal activities trigger the notification. Haven't figured out what, as yet. But I hear it too. Not as much as what you are saying, though. I have the notification sound turned down pretty low, so it doesn't get annoying.

You might consider downloading the free Audio Manager widget from Market. It puts a digital-type pix on the screen showing the level of all sound adjustments. Tap the widget and you get six sliders that control all sound levels, including "System" - the master sound level - that isn't available in the stock settings. The other settings are Alarm, Media, Alerts, Ringer and Voice Call.

the alerts volume doesn't wanna move. it's in conjuction with the ringer volume. but we'll see what happens. THANKS

I use Audio Control in the Google Play store, you can control all your audio in so many different ways it's crazy. This is probably my most used app.

I have an SGS II X and I get the same damn thing since updating to ICS. I have changed my SMS and Gmail notifications to silent, but there is no option to do that with the native e-mail app. It is painful to have the thing pinging all day long at work when I get incoming e-mails and I can't turn it off.
Does the audio control app work for this when it is ICS?

I think it might be the default notification sound... Settings, sounds, notifications
