I haven been hearing mysterious little âboopâ sounds coming from the computer and I think itâs Facebook making the noise. What is it doing
In addition to visually notifying you of updates and messages with small red numbers on the icons at top of the screen, Facebook can also provide an audible notification of your friendsâ online activity. If you want to make it stop, click the gear-shaped Settings icon in the top-right corner of a Facebook page and select Account Settings.
On the left side of the Account Settings screen, click Notifications. In the middle of the page, under âHow You Get Notifications,â go to âOn Facebookâ and click View. Next, turn off the checkbox next to âPlay a sound when each new notification is received.â This setting applies only to the desktop version of Facebook.
In this same settings area, you can also change how frequently Facebook sends you notification updates by e-mail or text messge. When you are finished adjusting your notifications settings, click the Save Changes button.
