When I first started using Waze, the "time to leave" notification sound was a quick double honk that sounded like a car horn. I really liked that, because it was very different from the notification sounds used by all my other apps and therefore easily caught my attention. At some point after Google acquired Waze, that sound disappeared. Worse yet, one of the "upgrades" to the app changed the settings in a way that makes it imposible to change what sound file Waze uses for any notifications. From my point of view, this was a step backward and made the app both less user-friendly and less useful.

This, exactly. Just a simple and unique sound so you know to look at the screen for guidance.

I suggested the same idea, and they answered me to post it in the forum. Good idea! very useful for known routes and places, when we just need to heard a small notification to turn and not to hear the entire speech, wich becomes annoying. I give you three votes, hope we can find more!!

I would like to change the early reminder and the time to leave notification's sound.

I would like to use voice recordings or customize / assign sounds also. IE: instead of "PING PING" id like "XX SPEED LIMIT" and a speeding notification "YOU ARE EXCEEDING THE SPEED LIMIT" linked maybe to "SPEED CAMERA NEARBY" etc

Rather than Sound On or Alerts Only, provide an option for navigation sound prompts. Most times I just want to be alerted when I have an upcoming turn, exit, etc. and don't care to have the entire navigation action spoken.

Agreed. We need to be able to customize sounds. If we have a home security issue I want a specific sound to alert me to this.

Same trick should work for any. Of those non-voice sounds. Just figure which file it is, substitute your own.

Found a workaround to get your own sound. Waze/sounds/common/speed_limit.mp3 rename it and substitute an mp3 you like. It will play the whole thing even if you slow down, so keep it short.

The alert that plays when the map is rerouted hurts my ears. I'd like to be able to change it or change just its volume.

Need to be able to change this sound to something that doesn't match other sounds on my phone. A little siren sound would get my attention.

Let me customize notification sounds.

I agree, makes me think I've received a text message, and I don't like that at all.

The notification sound is awful, hurts my ears.
Would love to know how to change it!

I really need this. I would modify the sound to be a lot longer, like 15 to 20 seconds, so it continually plays until I decrease my speed.

Definitely would like to see this. The short speed limit alert sound is very hard to hear. Would like to be able to select a custom sound from the notification sounds installed on my phone.

I too need this badly for speed limit alerts. the default alert sound is just too soft to notice even on highest volume.

I am turning off notifications because I REALLY don't want them to sound like my regular text notifications. Why would I want that?? Waze is a really helpful program but being able to change the sound is super annoying.

I need this particularly for speed limit alerts. The soft blip, even with volume turned up, isn't enough for me

This would be very helpful to discern between regular text messages and Waze alerts.
