# Notification Sounds

EchoHub can play a notification sound when someone @mentions you. This is disabled by default and must be enabled in your profile settings.

## Enabling Notifications

Open your profile (`/profile`) and check the "Notification sound on @mention" checkbox, then save. You can also adjust the Volume (0-100, default 30). All settings are persisted in `~/.echohub/config.json`.

## Customizing the Sound

The client ships with a default `Notification.mp3` in the `Assets` folder. To use your own notification sound, replace the file at:

    <app-directory>/Assets/Notification.mp3

The file must be a valid `.mp3` or `.wav` audio file. The replacement takes effect on the next app launch.

Alternatively, set a custom path in `~/.echohub/config.json`:

    {
      "notifications": {
        "enabled": true,
        "volume": 30,
        "soundFile": "/path/to/your/sound.mp3"
      }
    }

When `soundFile` is set, EchoHub uses that file instead of the bundled default.

## Disabling Notifications

Uncheck the option in your profile, or edit the config directly:

    {
      "notifications": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
