System sounds aren’t readily configurable on non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads, except maybe the ringtone and text tone, but with a MacDirtyCow exploit-based add-on called SoundManager by iOS developer EPOS, you can do this even without a jailbreak.
Once installed, SoundManager adds a dedicated preference pane to the Misaka tweak settings page where you can configure sound options for several different actions taken on your iPhone or iPad:
Things you can do here include:
- Change the Charging sound
- Change the Lock sound
- Change the Low Power alert sound
- Change the Default Notifications sound
- Change the Capture & Screenshot sound
- Change the Begin Recording sound
- Change the End Recording sound
- Change the Sent Message sound
- Change the Received Message sound
- Change the New Mail sound
- Change the Sent Mail sound
- Change the Keyboard Press sound
- Change the Keyboard Delete sound
- Change the Phone Dialer Key sound
- Change the Payment Success sound
- Change the Payment Failure sound
- Change the Payment Received sound
For each of these, you can pick from a list of available third-party sounds provided by SoundManager or you can use your own custom sounds within the allocated byte size.
For those wondering, the list of available sounds to pick from appears below:
You can pick from any of the following sounds:
- Off
- Default
- Custom (within the allocated byte size)
- Old charging
- Engage
- MagSafe
- One UI
- One UI Calm
- One UI Fun
- One UI Retro
- One UI Fast
- One UI Fast Calm
- One UI Fast Fun

- SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHET
Once you make changes to your device’s system sounds, you can respring your device for them to take effect.
Since SoundManager depends on the MacDirtyCow exploit, you don’t need to be jailbroken to use it, but you must have a firmware version between iOS or iPadOS 15.0-16.1.2 to take advantage of the exploit and SoundManager.
SoundManager is available as a free download from the Misaka package manager app, and if you’re not already using Misaka, then you can follow our tutorial and walk-through to learn how to install it and get started with using it.
