Apple's sound recognition tool,Watch Maninilip Online which allows users to be alerted when their phones detect specific sounds in their environments, is getting both a fun and useful customization upgrade with iOS 16.

The new accessibility feature lets iPhone owners create and record their own alert sounds, rather than relying on the pre-programmed options for household, people, and environmental sounds, to help deaf users be alerted to actions happening around them.

Users with disabilities can set sound alerts for their medical devices, for example, or their homes' unique doorbells, or the electronic jingles specific to their appliances. Sound recognition can also be incorporated into accessibility shortcuts (which can be found at the bottom of the accessibility menu in your phone settings), and easily turned on and off in the iPhone Control Center (just swipe down from the top right of your phone screen).

Sound recognition, and other features designed specifically with the deaf and hard of hearing community in mind, can be be found in the "hearing" section of your iPhone's accessibility settings.

3. Choose any of the "custom" options at the bottom of each sound category

Sound recognition divides the alert noises into various categories, from emergency alarms to people. Scroll to the bottom of each category to find a customization option that most closely aligns with the object you want to record, whether an alarm or appliance. Custom options should appear as a blue, clickable link.

4. Name and record your custom sound

First, name the sound you wish to record. You will then be prompted to get the device or object ready to make its sound. Once ready, select the blue "Start Listening" button — your phone will need to hear the object or device at least five times and will let you know when it's successfully created the alert.

Et voila. Your sound will now be saved under the personalized name you've chosen. Simply make sure the new alert is turned on — you can also adjust the alert tones that play when a sound recognition goes off — and go about your day.
