How to Customize Windows Sounds

PCMag says that customizing Windows sounds start by changing the Sound scheme to the default Windows version. Search for each event, and once you stumble upon an icon of a speaker, tap the Test button to hear the audio.

Not all times that the event's name will help you clear the issue. There are times that it can push you to disable the audio for a while, but it's not always recommended. What you should do is access your browser and look for the identity of the event with "Windows event" or "Windows sound."

You can also add a sound event by tapping on an event without a mic icon. Proceed to the Sounds menu and tap the sound you see from the list. Click the Test button to start hearing it.
