The system sound on an Android TV refers to the audio cues that the TV produces to indicate certain actions or events. These can include sounds for turning the TV on or off, changing channels, adjusting the volume, and receiving notifications. These sounds are designed to provide feedback to the user and make the TV easier to navigate. System Sounds are enabled by default on your Android TV. The TV owner will then make the decision to either turn off or turn on System sounds as they wish from the TV’s setting app. Turning off system sounds on your Android TV can be a great way to reduce distractions and create a more immersive viewing experience. Here’s how to do it:
How to Turn Off Clicking Sounds/System Sounds on your Android TV
