Direct answer
There isn’t a dedicated “Reddit notification sounds” software. Manage Reddit notification sounds using your device’s or desktop OS notification settings, or through the Reddit app’s built‑in sound controls where available.
How to manage Reddit notification sounds by platform
Android
- Open Settings and go to Apps & notifications.
- Find the Reddit app and select Notifications.
- Tap the notification category you want (e.g., Comments, Mentions).
- Choose Sound and select a tone. Repeat for other categories if needed.
- Test by receiving a notification to confirm the sound.
iOS
- Open Settings and tap Notifications.
- Find Reddit and open its settings.
- Toggle Sounds on or off. If available, adjust per-category options.
- Ensure Focus or Do Not Disturb rules don’t override sounds.
Windows (Desktop)
- Open Settings > System > Notifications & actions.
- Find Reddit in the list of apps.
- Turn on Notifications and set alert sounds if available.
- Customize notification behavior per app as needed.
macOS (Desktop)
- Open System Settings (or System Preferences) > Notifications.
- Select Reddit from the list.
- Enable Allow Notifications and set an alert style with sound.
- Adjust per-app alert timing and banner style if desired.
Built-in Reddit app controls
- Check in-app settings for notification sound options.
- Some versions allow per-notification-type sounds (e.g., comments, messages).
- If per-type controls are missing, rely on OS-level settings.
Quick tips and best practices
- Use distinctive sounds for high-priority categories (e.g., direct messages or mentions).
- Disable sounds for non-critical alerts to reduce noise.
- Regularly update the Reddit app to access new notification features.
- Test after changes by triggering sample notifications.
Common pitfalls
- Per-category sounds may not be available on all OS versions.
- Do Not Disturb or Focus modes can silence sounds unexpectedly.
- Third-party notification managers may not intercept Reddit alerts reliably.
- Switching devices requires reconfiguring sounds on each platform.
Alternatives and quick comparisons
- Native OS controls: Most reliable for broad control; works with all apps.
- In-app notification controls: Best when available; may offer category-specific sounds.
- Third-party notification managers: Useful for cross-app sound schemes but can add complexity and may not support all apps.
