Do you remember how we used to sit next to someone and suddenly a melody from the “Brigade” or from the “Boomer” started playing all over the room? It was so accepted that the call had to be loud, rolling, and preferably from a popular movie. Well, or just part of a new song. Times have changed. Now it is not only not necessary to do this, but it is not necessary at all. Many have given up calls completely and do not even take their smartphone out of silent mode. For example, I am one of such people. I am sure that you can safely release smartphones without the function of a call or notification of an incoming message, and the world will not become much worse from this. In some moments, on the contrary, it will only get better. Now I will explain what I mean, and I am sure that many of you will agree with me.
Do you turn off the sound?
Why do I need a call
First you need to understand why there is sound on the phone at all. The simplest thing that comes to mind is the ability not to miss an important call or message. I agree, this is really unpleasant and I would not want someone to write or call, but did not receive an answer.
Vibrating alert on your phone
At the same time, do not forget that modern smartphones , unlike “mobile phones” of the past, have excellent vibration alert systems. While the phone is in your pocket or in your hands, it is difficult to miss the vibration. Even if you are in some place where you do not feel the vibration, most likely you will not pay attention to the call. If the smartphone is not in your hands or in your pocket, you can still hear it. Often the characteristic “bzzzz” can be heard even from the next room.

Hence the first reason to turn on the sound much less often. The vibration is often more than enough to understand that you are calling. But messages come instantly, and you do not have time to hear the rattling from the next room. There is an answer to this case.
Smartphone is always in front of your eyes
Not so long ago I wrote that we use our smartphones more and more often . They are constantly in our hands and / or before our eyes. Even if we don’t use the phone for a long time, we often pick it up. Check messages, time, weather, mail, match score, TV programs and much more. All this draws our attention to the smartphone.
The most correct position for the sound mode switch.
Check your smartphone usage counter. Everyone I know, even on free days, still picks up a gadget at least about 100 times. On average, this is 5-15 minutes. If the calls are important, then the messages can often wait a little and you can check them after 15 or even more minutes. Therefore, if you have not left home without your phone or lay down to rest, that is, in those moments when you do not respond to the call, you will still often check the screen and see a notification.
Smart watches and fitness trackers
Let’s say this is not your case either. For such situations, there are smart watches and bracelets . They are much more convenient and practical than a regular call. Such a gadget is always on hand, a notification will come to it and its vibration will notify you that you need to pick up your smartphone.
Do not forget that in the Telegram channel “Ali Baba’s Chest” you can find the most top gadgets from Aliexpress, which we carefully select for you. For example, such:
In favor of this method of not missing notifications, I must say that modern watches have other very convenient functions. If you do not want to use an expensive watch, then there are a dozen of inexpensive trackers, the price of which starts from several hundred rubles. Slightly more expensive, but very popular Xiaomi Mi Band are also not so expensive compared to the price of an average smartphone.
This is largely my case. The first two are also based on personal experience, but it is the smart watch that gives me the opportunity not to miss calls. If they are on your hand, you can even put your smartphone not in your pocket, but in your bag or backpack, and you won’t miss anything. Even at home, there are times when the bell will not be heard, but the clock will always say that there is something for an hour.

How to stop annoying others
If that doesn’t convince you, think about those around you. In a recent survey of travelers, about a fifth admitted that they are most annoyed on the road by fellow travelers who watch video with sound or whose phone constantly rings. In order not to be such a person, it is better to just turn off the sound and find another way not to miss calls and messages.
Then someone’s phone rang, he began to get it, and those around him listen to the melody for 10-15 seconds and hate the owner of the phone.
I understand that there are situations when a call really cannot be missed. But ways have been invented not to miss any notification. Just keep your smartphone close to you or wear smart gadgets from the category of “wearable electronics” – watches or trackers.

When should I turn off the sound on my phone? Is always
Now is not the time to boast in front of everyone that you have a phone and someone is calling you. On the contrary, the use of the bell has become a rule of bad taste. So don’t act like that. Turn off the sound and you will notice that almost nothing has changed for you. You yourself will not notice how you adjust and you will not miss anything important, and you, like millions of other users, will be annoyed by the “Turu-turu-turu-turu-turu-ru-ru” coming from someone’s pocket.
