Have you ever come across a TikTok video with a sound that you just can’t stand? Maybe it’s a song you find annoying or a sound effect that grates on your nerves. Whatever the reason, TikTok offers a feature that allows you to block specific sounds from appearing on your For You page. In this article, I’ll show you how to block a sound on TikTok, so you can enjoy your TikTok experience without any unwanted noises.
Step 1: Open TikTok
The first step is to open the TikTok app on your mobile device. If you don’t have the app yet, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store.
Step 2: Go to your profile
Once you have opened the app, tap on the “Profile” icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen. This will take you to your TikTok profile.
Step 3: Access settings
In your profile, you will see a three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Tap on it to access the TikTok settings.
Step 4: Tap on “Privacy and Safety”
From the settings menu, scroll down and tap on “Privacy and Safety.” This will open a new page with various privacy and safety options.
Step 5: Tap on “Blocked sounds”
In the “Privacy and Safety” page, look for the “Blocked sounds” option and tap on it. This is where you can manage the sounds you want to block on TikTok.
Step 6: Add sounds to block
To block a sound, tap on the “+” icon located at the top right corner of the screen. This will open a search bar where you can enter the name of the sound you want to block.
Step 7: Select the sound to block
After entering the name of the sound, TikTok will display a list of matching sounds. Tap on the sound you want to block from the list. You can repeat this process to block multiple sounds.
Step 8: Confirm the blocked sound
Once you have selected the sound to block, TikTok will show a confirmation message asking if you want to block that sound. Tap on “Block” to confirm and add the sound to your blocked list.
Step 9: Enjoy a sound-free experience
Now that you have successfully blocked the sound on TikTok, you can enjoy a sound-free experience on your For You page. TikTok will no longer show videos with the blocked sound in your feed.
Blocking sounds on TikTok is a great way to personalize your TikTok experience and avoid any sounds that you find bothersome. Whether it’s a song you dislike or a sound effect that irritates you, this feature gives you control over what you hear while browsing TikTok.
Remember, you can always unblock sounds if you change your mind later. Simply go back to the “Blocked sounds” section in the TikTok settings, tap on the sound you want to unblock, and select “Unblock.”
So go ahead and block those sounds that bother you the most on TikTok. Happy scrolling!
