Configure mobile push notification sounds
Push notification sounds can be configured for iPhone devices and Android devices. On iPhone devices, the generic notification sound and default volume cannot be changed using the Alarm.com Alarm.com app. Users may be able to adjust their push notification volume at the system level. On Android devices, it is possible to choose individual push notification sounds.
For information about configuring push notifications, see Configure push notifications.
Note: Doorbell call push notifications will have a unique doorbell sound effect that is different than other push notification sounds and cannot be changed.

- Consider the following firmware-specific options:
- On older Android firmware versions, the System Default is selected by default, and sound options can be chosen within the app.
- On Android firmware versions 8.0+ with the most recent app installed, the App provided sound (siren) is selected by default.
Caution: If another sound is selected, it will not be possible to revert back to the default siren sound without clearing all Alarm.com app data on the device or uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If the app data has to be cleared, verify that the push device and Geo-Device settings are still configured properly.
