Charging Android Phone

Android gives you more flexibility — depending on your phone’s manufacturer and Android version.

Option 1: Use Built-in Settings (Some Phones)

  1. Open Settings → Sound & Vibration → Charging Sounds and Vibration.
  2. Toggle the setting on or off, or choose a different sound if your phone supports it.

(Available on some Samsung, Xiaomi, and OnePlus devices.)


Option 2: Use a Third-Party App or Automation Tool

If your phone doesn’t have a built-in option, you can use apps like Tasker, MacroDroid, or Automate to trigger a sound when charging starts.

Example with Tasker:

  1. Install Tasker from Google Play.
  2. Create a new Profile → Event → Power → Power Connected.
  3. Add a Task → Media → Play Ringtone or Say (to make your phone speak).
  4. Choose your preferred sound file or text.

Now every time you plug in your phone, Tasker will play your chosen sound or phrase.

Option 3: Use “Charging Sounds” Apps

If you just want a quick solution:

  • Charging Sound Notification (Play Store)
  • Charger Alert
  • Battery Sound Notification

These apps let you assign custom tones or MP3s to charging events without complex setup.

🧠 Creative Ideas for Custom Charging Sounds

  • “⚡ Powering up!”
  • “🔋 Energy levels rising.”
  • “🌙 Time to rest and recharge.”
  • “📱 Charging complete!” (for unplug automation)
  • Use your favorite movie quotes or sound effects.

You can even pair sound changes with visual automations like turning on Night Shift or changing wallpapers when charging.


🚫 Troubleshooting Tips

  • If your automation doesn’t trigger on iPhone, make sure Ask Before Running is turned off.
  • On Android, check that Tasker or your chosen app has background permissions and battery optimization disabled.
  • Ensure your sound file is in a supported format (MP3, M4A, or WAV).

🎯 Final Thoughts

Changing the sound your phone makes when you plug it in is a small but satisfying customization.

  • On iPhone, use Shortcuts to make Siri talk or play sounds.
  • On Android, use Tasker or dedicated apps for deeper control.

With just a few minutes of setup, you can make your phone’s charging routine sound exactly the way you want — whether that’s a calming chime, a funny quote, or your favorite song snippet.
