How to make WhatsApp sound louder - in detail?

To make WhatsApp sound louder, you can follow these detailed steps:

  1. Adjust Volume Settings: Start by increasing the overall volume of your device. Most devices have a physical button or a quick settings panel where you can raise the media or ringer volume.
  2. Modify WhatsApp Notification Sound:

    • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Settings' menu (usually represented by three dots).
    • Navigate to 'Notifications'.
    • Here, you can select a different notification sound that is naturally louder or has a higher pitch. Some devices allow you to increase the volume of specific app notifications directly from this setting.
  3. Use Third-Party Apps: There are several third-party apps available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store designed to boost the volume of your device's notifications, including WhatsApp. Examples include 'Volume Booster' for Android and 'Boom: Music Player & Equalizer' for iOS.
  4. Check for Do Not Disturb Mode: Ensure that your phone is not in 'Do Not Disturb' mode as this can mute all notifications, including WhatsApp messages. You can check and adjust this setting in the quick settings panel or under 'Sound' in your device settings.
  5. Increase Media Volume Programmatically (Advanced): For users with technical knowledge, there are ways to programmatically increase media volume beyond the default limit. This involves using ADB commands on Android devices:

    • Enable Developer Options by going to 'Settings' > 'About phone' and tapping 'Build number' seven times.
    • Connect your device to a computer via USB.
    • Open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac/Linux) and type adb shell.
    • Increase the volume using commands like settings put system volume_music 15 (the number can go up to 20).
  6. Use Headphones: If you're in a noisy environment, using headphones can significantly enhance your ability to hear WhatsApp notifications clearly. Some high-quality headphones come with additional features like noise cancellation which can further improve the listening experience.

By following these steps, you should be able to make WhatsApp sound louder and ensure that you never miss an important message again.
