Guidelines to increase the volume of notification tone/sound for custom tones
After creating custom tone the next hurdle which most of us get into is the volume of the notification tone which is hardly audible compared to the default tones. The same notification tone will be audible if it is played in music player but might not sound good if it is played as a notification tone. I understand most of you might have faced this issue. So here is the practical guideline which can be followed to increase the volume of the custom notification tone.
The first and foremost thing which you have to do is to edit the audio notification file using a audio editor. Probably it may be done with any audio editors which helps you in boosting the audio. The one which I preferred is by using "
Nero Wave Editor" which comes along with the Nero 10 pack.
Boosting the volume of the custom notification tone using Nero wave editor.
- Step 1: Open Nero wave editor and add the audio file (which you would like to keep as notification tone).
- Step 2: Select the complete track and then click on Volume tab and in the down bar choose the Volume change.
- Step 3: Increase the volume to 10dB and then click ok. (You can experiment by increasing the decibel (dB) further,but keep n eye on the noise as increase in dB might create noise). You can undo in edit tab if your experiment fails with more noise.
- Step 4: After increasing the volume play the track to find if any noise is present.
- Step 5: Click "Enhancement" and in the drop down menu click "Noise reduction" and then click ok.
- Step 6: Go to "Effects" and in the drop down menu click on Loudness and increase the "loudness". I increased till 10.2. You can experiment by increase further.
- Step 7: Click one save as and save it in your hard disk.
- Step 8: Transfer it into the notification folder inside the media folder in memory card.
- Step 9: Now the volume should be sound audible equivalent to the default tones.
