Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

I would like to see an option to disable the terrible noise that is still being used, to be able to silence it or choose from a few other sound options.

I agree. There are times when I'll take alternate routes, especially in city centers, and my music is constantly interrupted with re-routes chirps, which become annoying. There should be a configuration option to enable/disable this notification.

Please let us disable reroute alert sound, or it least change it to a more softer tone. It wakes my kids in the car, everytime that dings.

Já aconteceu comigo duas vezes, sem querer no meio da viagem cliquei na lupa, e sem perceber cliquei no endereço de origem, neste momento aparece na tela: Opções de navegação: "Adicionar parada" ou "Novo percurso", nesta hora falta uma opção "Cancelar". Se tivesse um áudio facilitaria para este caso de ter clicado errado, perguntando se deseja adicionar parada ou novo percurso? Neste momento devo ter clicado em uma das duas opções e o waze recalculou a rota, nem percebi que tinha trocado o destino, uma vez conhecia o caminho, parei no acostamento desliguei o waze e calculei a rota, nem tinha percebido que fiz isso. Na segunda vez fiz um retorno errado, paguei R$ 11,20 a mais de pedágio, andei 20km a mais e demorou 30 minutos a mais na viagem.

This is so much louder than the other app sounds and it is sooo freaking annoying. Please add option to turn this notification off, just flash a pop-up like a you do for a hazard or police , etc.

Please fix this!
we shouldn't have to hack the OS or the app's sound files just to get an annoying beep to stop! -

this is so annoying. I still need to have alerts on to know about upcoming dangers, but this reroute beep should be a separate option.. PLEASE!!

This rerouting notification sound is driving me crazy. I use Waze every day for my commute to and from work, and I have a route that works better for me than what is recommended by Waze. Every block when I disregard following the recommended route I must deal with hearing the navigation rerouting chirps which interrupts music/podcasts. That's not to say I don't see the benefit of the notification sound when I'm on an unfamiliar route, but it would be GREAT to have the ability to disable when necessary.
Recently, I've begrudgingly just disabled the navigation portion of the app for my commute even though it's still beneficial for major incidents etc.

Fino ad Android 5, potevo sostituire il TickerPoint.mp3 con un innocuo "tic", ma adesso, dal 6.0.1 in poi, non ho modo di disattivare questo fastidioso trillo che viene emesso ad ogni ricalcolo del percorso. E lo fa spesso, anche uscendo da una galleria perché nel frattempo si è perso.
Si potrebbe mettere una opzione per disattivarlo?
In alternativa, mia moglie mi costringerà a cambiare navigatore ...! -

It's called "TickerPoints.mp3". This brain-melting offender comes with a bonus mp3 compression that will add a little sizzle to your technological migraine. It is located here: WAZE>SOUND>ENG. It will be in the language folder of whatever language you are using, and might have a different name in another language. It was not located in >COMMON with the other .wav sounds, which are all pretty reasonably mixed, and you never hear them anyway. I will attempt to replace the file. If you are on iOS, then you'll have to ask Siri.

I fon't think it's a good idea to post a suggestion including two alternatives (do *this* OR *that*)
People (like me) who agree on one ("option to disable") but no on the other ("remove") are not encouraged to vote
