How to Block a Sound in TikTok

Is a particular sound on TikTok driving you up the wall every time it pops up in your feed? With TikTok's algorithm constantly surfacing content it thinks you'll like based on your viewing history, sometimes that includes sounds and noises you'd rather never hear again. Fortunately, blocking an annoying sound on TikTok is a simple process that will help curate your feed.

 

Two Ways to Block a Sound

There are two main ways to prevent a sound from appearing in your TikTok feed:

·        Block the sound directly from a video

·        Block the account that frequently uses the sound

To block a sound when you encounter it in a video, simply tap and hold on the video. Select "Not Interested" from the pop-up menu, then tap "More" and "Hide videos with this sound." TikTok's algorithm will register your preference to avoid that sound going forward.

 

Blocking Problematic Accounts

If a particular TikTok creator is the main culprit using an irritating sound over and over, you can block their entire account. This will prevent any of their content, including that notorious sound, from appearing in your feed.

Navigate to the user's TikTok profile page and tap the "..." menu in the upper right. Select "Block" from the options that appear. Confirm you want to block that account. You'll no longer see any videos from them, effectively eliminating that annoying audio from your TikTok experience. Of course, this also means you won't see any of their other content either.

 

Resetting Your "For You" Page Preferences

If the "For You" page algorithm seems to keep surfacing videos with sounds you dislike, you can hit reset on your preferences and start fresh. This wipes your history so TikTok can relearn what content to show you.

Access this via Profile > Menu > Settings and Privacy > Content Preferences. Look for the "Refresh your For You feed" option. Tap it and confirm you want to reset. Now engage only with videos you truly enjoy to shape your recommendations.

 

Save Sounds You Like With the Favorites Feature

On the flip side, when you come across a sound or song you really enjoy in a TikTok video, tap the spinning record icon at the bottom right of the video. You'll see the song info and have the option to add it to your Favorites.

Saving Favorite sounds makes it easy to find and reuse them later in your own TikTok creations. Access all your saved favorite sounds via the "Favorites" section of your profile.

 

Removing Accidental Likes

Be mindful of what you Like on TikTok, as that heavily influences what the algorithm chooses to show you. If you accidentally Liked a video with an annoying sound, find that video under your Liked videos and tap the heart icon again to Unlike it. This removes it from your Likes and reduces the chance of seeing and hearing similar videos.
