How can you customize push notification sounds in Braze?

Customizing push notification sounds in Braze is achieved through the payload when sending notifications. This approach allows developers to specify different sound files associated with a notification, enhancing user experience by tailoring the alert's auditory aspect to fit the application's branding or user's preferences. When crafting notifications, you can include a specific sound parameter in the payload to dictate which sound will play when the notification is received.

Using default system sounds exclusively limits customization and does not leverage the full capabilities of Braze's push notification features. While modifying the app's source code may allow for broad changes in functionality, it is not directly linked to the way sounds are set for notifications in the context of using Braze. Likewise, user settings in the app may allow for general app notifications management but do not offer specific sound customization unless integrated with backend services like Braze. Thus, specifying the sound in the notification payload provides a direct and effective method for customizing the audible alerts for users.
