This guide works for both Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, although  in the text, we often just use Galaxy S6.

1. What are the 3 sound modes in Samsung Galaxy S6?

Unlike other Android Lollipop devices, Samsung Galaxy S6 still uses the old 3 sound modes, instead of the new Android Lollipop notification and interruption system.

Some Galaxy S6 owners may like it; some may hate it.

The 3 sound modes are:

  1. Sound mode. This is the default. All sounds will be played. All vibrate will be allowed.
  2. Vibrate mode. System sound is turned off. Vibrate is allowed.
  3. Mute mode (aka silent mode). Sound and vibrate are all turned off except for alarms. But some settings or apps do not follow this setting.

There are two ways to change the sound modes in Samsung Galaxy S6: from Settings or from Galaxy S6 Notification panel  (quick settings).

Method 1: from Settings app.

In Settings—Sound and notifications, tap Sound mode as shown below.

Then you can choose from the three galaxy S6 sound modes: sound, vibrate or mute as shown below.

silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_1_settings_soound_mode silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_2_3_sound_modes

Method 2: from notification panel (quick settings)

Another way to access and change Galaxy S6 sound mode is from Quick settings in the notification panel.

Swipe down from the top of the screen (status bar) to get notification panel. In the quick setting part, you can tap the icon as shown below to cycle through the 3 modes: Mute–>Sound–>Vibrate–>Mute.

silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_3_quick_settings_mute silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_4_quick_settings_sound_mode

2. How to silence annoying tapping sound  and vibrate on Samsung Galaxy S6?

By default, when you tap the screen, there is a tapping sound. Haptic feedback (vibrate) is also turned on by default in Samsung Galaxy S6.

You can silence these annoying tapping sound and haptic feedback without going into mute mode or vibrate mode.

In Settings—Sound and notifications, tap Ringtones and sounds.  In the Ringtones and sounds page as shown below, you can drag the switch to left to silence the following sounds  in Galaxy S6 individually:

  • Touch sounds;
  • Dialing keypad tone;
  • Screen lock sounds;
  • Keyboard sound.

Similarly, to turn off or silence the vibrate on Galaxy S6, you can go to Settings—Sound and notifications —Vibrations.

In the Vibrations page as shown below, you can silence the following vibrates individually:

  • Vibrate when ringing;
  • Vibrate feedback;
  • Keyboard vibration.

3. How to silence ringer on Samsung Galaxy S6?

There are a few ways to silence Samsung Galaxy S6 ringer.

Method 1:  Enter vibrate mode or mute mode  to silence Samsung Galaxy S6, including ringer.

Method 2: Put your palm over the screen or turn the phone over to mute ringer on Samsung Galaxy S6.

If you want to quickly stop/silence the ringer, you can use your palm to cover the S6 screen, or turn Galaxy S6 over (i.e., make screen face downwards).

You need turn on this feature in Settings—Motions and gestures a shown below.

Method 3: Use Do Not Disturb to selectively silence Samsung Galaxy S6, including ringer.

Samsung introduced do not disturb in Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. This is similar to the old blocking mode, and the Downtime in Android Lollipop.

You can turn on Do not disturb in Settings—Sound and notifications — Do not disturb as shown below.

Actually, there are lot of customizations for Do Not Disturb feature. You can configure it to silence Samsung Galaxy S6, including the ringer.

silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_7_motions_gestures_mute silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_8_dot_not_disturb

4. How to silence notifications on Samsung Galaxy S6?

You can turn on mute mode to silence Samsung Galaxy S6, including notifications.

But if you want to only silence notifications on Samsung Galaxy S6, not the ringer or alarms, you can simply set the default notification tones as silent as shown below.

In Settings—Sound and notifications—Ringtones and sounds, tap Default notification sound as shown below.

Then choose Silent as shown below as the default notification sound.

In this way, you will silence notifications, but not block notifications.

Some apps and some contacts can have customized notification tones, so you can use this method to  allow some notification tones to pass through. Please refer to this guide (coming soon) on how to customize Samsung Galaxy S6 notification tones.

silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_9_notification_tone silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_10_silent_notification_tone

If you want to block notifications from certain apps, not just silence the notification tone, you can set it in App notifications.

In Settings—Sounds and notifications, tap App notifications as shown below.

Then tap the app, for example, Chrome for Android.

For each app, in Samsung Galaxy S6, there are three notification options:

  • Block notifications.  This essentially blocks all notifications from this app, not just silence it. It is useful if some apps try to spam you.
  • Set as priority. As Samsung Galaxy S6 does not have Priority mode for Android Lollipop, this option is only used for Do Not Disturb. If you set the app notification as priority, notifications may pass through when Do Not Disturb is activated.
  • No special settings. If neither of the above two is activated, this app will follow the system settings.

silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_13_block_app_notifications silence_samsung_galaxy_s6_s6_edge_14_silence_keyboard

5. How to silence Samsung Galaxy S6 keyboard?

If you need silence Samsung Galaxy S6 keyboard, you can go to Settings—Language and input, tap Samsung keyboard.

In Samsung keyboard page, under key-tap feedback, as shown above, you can turn on/off sound and vibration individually.

 6. Where is priority mode in Samsung Galaxy S6?

One of the new features of Android Lollipop is the new notification and interruption systems. And you may heard about the Priority mode in Android Lollipop.

Unfortunately, Samsung Galaxy S6 does not implement the new notification system (see this post on this Samsung Galaxy S6 defect).

So, there is no Priority mode in Samsung Galaxy S6. Part of the Priority mode settings can be found in Do not disturb feature in Galaxy S6.

Can you silence Samsung  Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge now?

      Silent option is not available for ringtones. If you want to reject calls from someone, you can add home to the reject list. Open the contact, tap MORE in top right, tap Add to auto reject list.

      There is no special notification tone setting when you are using wireless charging. You probably have to manually change to mute mode if you want to silence Galaxy S6.

        I think they are referring to the notification “wireless charging paused” notification that happens when your phone reaches 100% charge on wireless pad. As the phone discharges and then recharges the notification becomes darn right annoying. Especially if you are streaming music.

    Need to silence with volume button press. wtf. If the phone is in my pocket and I’m in a conversation I have to take it out, open it up and swipe or reject the call to end the sound. That’s stupid. I should just be able to click the button from outside my pants.

          For power button, in settings–applications –Phone –answering and ending calls. Enable pressing the power key to end call.

    not the app itself…the phone…s6…when I had s5…and I receive a viber or wechat call…I always hit the power button and had the option to “silence” ALL incoming notifications from ALL apps. When you press the power button on the s6…this option is no longer available. So when I’m video chatting or calling on Viber..wechat…I can still hear all incoming notifications from texts…emails…and other apps.

      You can set sound mode in quick settings. Swipe down from status bar (top of the screen ) to access quick settings. Sound mode option was removed from power options in Android lollipop.

    Is there any way to have sound but not vibrate without turning all vibrate functionality off? I dislike vibrate when my phone is on my desk or other surface at home because it makes a horrible buzzing sound, but I still want to be notified via sound of messages and calls. However, when I am in a lecture at university and my phone is in my pocket, I just want it to be on vibrate without any sounds. I know my old iphone used to do this – it had the option of sound and vibrate, just sound, just vibrate, or complete silence – all of which you could quickly swap between. Is there any way to achieve this in the S6? At the moment it’s bugging me a fair bit.

      It is supposed to be working in this way. Volume keys responds only when you are playing media files, if the phone screen is locked.

      Sound modes are for notifications and ringtones. They are designed in this way.

      For media or apps, they can always play sounds. You can adjust the volume for them in settings – sound and notifications. You can adjust the volume for media and system. Both are not controlled by sound modes.

      Call connecting tone is provided by your phone company. You cannot set it on the S6. Most phone companies sell customized connecting tone. You should check with your phone company.

      What you cna do is set your ringtone, which you will hear, not the other party.

        The phone is sim free (therefore not tied down with any carrier bloatware) only whats already there 😐

        Also by connecting tone i mean the three beeps that happen just before the phone starts ringing (my other S6 (5.1.1) has it under call alerts –> call connect tone, However, i cannot seem to find the settings on this one.

          Call alert is model specific (depending on region and carrier) for S6 and S6 edge. In some models, you get the option. In some models, the option is not accessible for users.

          Very likely, the model number (and firmware region) of the two phones are not identical.

    How do you mute media sound (when playing a game, movie, etc.) when I get a phone call? Right now when I answer a call the media sound continues to play so you have to listen to both the person your talking to and media. Very frustrating!

      When playing a video, music, sound should be muted automatically.

      But for games, it depends. You can always use the Recent button (left to home button), to bring the app to foreground and pause or exit the game. Most games has the mute control as well so that you can make calls and play games at the same time.

      Samsung does not offer the option to customize LED colors in Galaxy S6. But there are some apps may do this, e.g. lightflow.

      But I would NOT recommend you to customize the LED color.

      Vibrate mode will mute ringtone and notification tone. It’s a special sound mode.

      If you need both ringtone and vibrate, you should stay in sound mode. You can enable vibrate in settings -sound and notifications. For apps that have its notifying settings, for example, messages, you also need enable vibrate in the app.

        Hety Simon, thanks for the reply, but I do not need both ring and vibrate. What I’m missing is when in vibrate the notifications (for calendar and messages) are muted. The only thing not set silent is ‘media’ UGH. In sound mode it seems my options are ring, be silent (a “ring tone” go figure). If it set calls to vibrate the sound profile mutes everything else but media.

        My previous phone I could set to “Vibrate” and would get the short buzz for calendar events AND messages, not just calls.

        Is there a way to set that up? I’ve tried to set phone to vibrate and individually set the message and calendar apps but I still not get a vibration when something comes in. When I’m at work don’t want my phone to make any rings/beeps/songs at all. A short vibration at least lets me know something is happening without disrupting/annoying co-workers.

          Vibrate mode in Samsung devices should mute ringtone and notification tones. But your phone should vibrate for notifications if you did not disable the vibrate in the corresponding apps.

          Only mute mode silences the ringtone, notification tone and vibration.

          Media is always controlled independently.

I though I had achieved victory. the sounds were gone, until I unlocked the screen for the second time. I made one last ditch effort. I turned S6 off completely. With S6 on again and several screen locks and unlocks, the sounds appear to be gone.

    I want to start by apologizing for the sloppiness of my original post. I am blind and use screen reading software. The screen reader did not indicate text was being entered into the Comment field, so I tabbed away, returned, and began again. I did not realize what had happened until the comment was posted. I would have done something right away, but I had to go. I am truly sorry.
    Shortly after posting, I received a notification and the sounds were back. I was annoyed and asked my husband to confirm the Touch Sounds switch was in the off position. It was. After some experimenting, I learned the sounds were not Touch Sounds. They were Sound Feedback from Voice Assistant. This is Samsung’s version of Google’s Talk Back screen reading app. I assumed the sounds were Touch Sounds, because I Silenced Sound Feedback as soon as I got the phone. Apparently it did not take until I turned it on and off again.
    Please forgive me for the untidy post and any confusion it might have caused.

    How do we silence continuous notification from alert display bar (i.e. WhatsApp, Emails, etc.). For example, if I receive a WhatsApp or email notification and I do not have time at that moment to review the said message, my cell continuously beeps until I actually review the message and/or clear the display screen. I do not mind having the initial notification notice, but I do not want it to continuously notify (i.e. beep) me until I review and clear the display screen. It appears the display screen has to be cleared in all occasions. Thanks for your assistance

The reason why I am asking is, when I get a whatsapp message, sms, FB or email, I don’t have time to look at it or will like to open it.

      For the mute, it depends on apps. Some apps do not respect the mute mode settings. But the default Messages app should follow the settings.

I was able to go back to the original message app on the phone, and it will let me do the phone flip to mute after I set the text notifiers I wanted for each person as a ringtone instead of a notifier.

      Does it happen only once when the notification is first arrived? or does it beep regularly until you read it?

          Very likely, you turned on notification reminder. Turn it off in settings – accessibility – notification reminder.

      You can try Do not disturb. You can set it up so that it automatically silence the phone in the designated time.

        Do no disturb does not shut it completely up. The sound is endlessly frustrating because you can never be certain that quiet means quiet. My wife and I have been woken up, I have been embarrassed in meetings and all because there is no single button to shut the bloody thing up.

      Turn over the phone (let the screen face downwards).
