TOTALLY IRRITATING.
They have annoyed me and my partner who was trying to sleep. I do not need a soundtrack whilst looking at articles & accidentally scrolling onto a stupid noisy site. Turn them off Please
Thanks, every time Facebook updates it resets this and it always escapes me how to turn it back off, that and auto playing videos with sound.
Baffles me how I can never remember, it’s almost like it resets my head to forget!

David, unfortunately this guide is about the Facebook app, not the Facebook Messenger app. However, keep an eye on our website, cause we might create a guide about Facebook Messenger at some point.
And who knows? You might learn other useful tricks. 🙂
Sorry I can’t help more at this point.

How is Messenger not part of FB app? You hit messenger and it makes you dl this.
Maybe you could in spare time, see if you can figure it out. Sooo annoying. Thanks!!!
Messenger is a separate app from the Facebook app. Yes, it is integrated with Facebook, but not the same app.

So let’s find a way to turn off the Ding when switching from one Messenger account to other, instead of pointing out it is another annoying FB app. Time better served if someone could at least try, instead discussing it is another app.

I’ve done all the above (I have iPhone) and Facebook is still making sounds whenever I like something, and they seem to be getting louder even if I turn my volume down! Any ideas please?
Turn off also “Videos in News Feed Start with Sound”, close the app after both sound settings are turned off, and restart it. It should work.

This is no longer a valid solution. There is no “sound in the app” button to be found anywhere in the Facebook songs anymore. It’s been like this for a while now.
This works if you follow the steps exactly like it says. I got a new Android last week and stopped liking friends’ posts because of the annoying sound. Sound on shouldn’t be the default on this app, especially for hitting the like button. Thank goodness these folks posted these instructions, and they worked!

No longer works! Please help this is driving me crazy and just started happening yesterday. I can’t find any solution. I even reloaded the app. That didn’t work. I can’t find anything.
It looks like Facebook has completely removed this option from their mobile app. We just can’t find this setting anywhere. 🙁

With the latest version of FB for Android (v315?) this option has definitively disappeared and sounds are now always ON, which is terribly annoying also because the volume control to damp the noise affects other apps in your phone.

Yet, there is no sounds nor in app sounds option under media. I’m so irritated with all the pings and blips. I reported to FB under help and support and provided a screen shot of the menu, but they haven’t responded. They have responded on the past with help in other situations. This comment section is the first I’ve seen others having the same issues. I feel validated in my annoyance.

Was getting mad over the option disappearing in the Android app, then I found the solution: turn off ALL system sounds in the Volume settings in the Audio section of Android. After all, what system sound do we ever really need? Anyway, found peace at last!

I am always off wifi. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app while off wifi and still the option is not anywhere to be found. I’ve silenced my system media sounds but the facebook bubble sound is still loud and clear!! So frustrating!!! Why can’t this just be a simple thing, especially when so many people are annoyed by it!
I have a Samsung S10,and none of these solutions work. 6/19/21 I’ve gone through this solution, as well as other and previous solutions, and none will work.in most cases, I no longer have the referred to sections in my settings. I’m not a tech expert, but I’m pretty end-user-savvy. I went as far as leaving a 1-star rating with explanation in the google app store. I truly don’t think Facebook cares.
If anyone has found an even more current work—-around to the sounds, PLEASE post it. It seems like every time a work-around is figured out, Facebook takes it away. I’m beyond frustrated that such a small thing would be so difficult!

I also have the old S10 plus 5g, it uses the old method of going into media.
I have just deleted FB for now. If they want to fix this issue I’ll install it again.

I just discovered your attempt to provide a solution to this pining/popping/click/dinging bothersome ‘noise’ for every like/comment…any action I partake whilst engaging in FB. I have an Android. I followed your clear steps and, to absolutely NO avail, “Cellular Data Usage” does not appear. No such option exists. I have no control what-so-ever to turn off the friggin ‘noise trash/chatter’. Nada. None. Zilch. FB = deception. I know many folks who have left FB…I am close to following their lead. I don’t NEED FB, or the tactics of their ‘chaser-prey’ game.
