Lost the "swoosh" sound

I suddenly lost the "swoosh" sound when an email is sent. I changed nothing in mail preferences. Suggestions to get the sound back?

Same thing just happened to me. The swoosh sound when sending email from MacBook Pro suddenly vanished and I can find nothing in MAIL or System Preferences or in Mail Help on how to restore it. I'm using Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5.
I see several other postings about this in 2012, about it happening on iphone also, but I didn't find a solution posted. Any one know of one?

Why do I continually lose the Swoosh sound for out going Emails?

Just in the past 3 mos. or so I lost the swoosh sound that indicates that the email from my box has gone out. I need to shut down and restart before it works again. Contacted Apple care twice and after their "fixes" today it's still not working. I just wann know that the mail has gone out!

Click the apple button on the top left, click software update
Click the apple button on the top left, click force quit, force quit mail, close out force quit window
Click the apple button, select shut down, wait 1 minute after shut down, restart the computer
-->if mail outbound is still not making a sound, you may need to reset all settings to default using the com.apple.mail.plist removal (which in this case would POSSIBLY delete everything inside of your email, so if you need anything backed up first, this would be a good time to do it (IMAP typically has a running backup at all times since you are using the server for everything Unlike POP based email). DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS your mail is backed up, and or you know you won't lose anything super important in your mail application.
When you are ready to take the next step if the BOLDED ABOVE doesn't apply/didn't work here is the steps to trying the com.apple.mail.plist reset for LION: (Force Quit Mail, make sure it's not running) select Finder from the dock > Select Go > Hold down the Option Key On the Keyboard > Select Library > Select Preferences from the list > Select com.apple.mail.plis > hit the delete key > empty the trash > restart the computer. You shouldn't lose your mail accounts nor anything, BUT just in case I always ask people to back up first. Again this task is long, but should resolve the email sound issue.

My ipad doesn't seem to make a sound when it is closed or in sleep mode to let me know there is an imessage until you see it on the screen that someone has imessaged. When you're taking it makes the swoosh sound, just not when it's in sleep mode. Help

Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you. It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad. I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

HT4623 My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine

My iPad 3 has lost the speaker sound after updating to iOS 6.1, headphones are working fine. Please help me out, done all the troubleshooting like restarting, side switcing, cleeaning the headphone jack etc.,

Hi I also have this problem. Sound was only working on the headphones and also on the volume slider in the settings app. Everywhere else I get no sound and no volume slider. Now the headphones don't work either.
(I'm using an ipad 2 iOS 6.1.2)
And NO it's not muted. I've reset all settings and restarted the iPad. Been searching forums for a couple days. Some say its a dirty docking port problem, others suggest a Skype or other app update that could be the problem.
No volume control icon appears when I press the volume control buttons. Only says sound effects, if it says anything at all. Most often there is NO volume icon. YouTube, video, music, and other game apps, no sound.

What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped. How do I get it back?

First quit and restart Mail and see if the sound returns. BTW it is selected in Settings > Sounds correct?
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If that doesn't work try a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the battery is being recharged now work

On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the iPad is connected for recharging are working. Any ideas ?

Ensure that the mute switch is not activated. If it is not be sure the volume is at a level in which you can hear it. If your still having issues, test the sounds in other applications. If it is affecting multiple things, you may want to attempt a reset by holding the lock/power button and the home button until you see an Apple logo.

How do I get the swoosh sound back?

I had to reinstall my operating system, and now don't have the swoosh sound when mail is sent. I thought I figured it out by going to System Preferences, Sound, and enabling Play user interface sound effects. But by doing that, I get all sorts of annoying sounds, particularly within iTunes. I know I did something before to get the mail swoosh, but not have sounds all the time from the user sound interface. Anyone know how to do this?

I just checked the Previous System Folder, Library. I don't have a Sounds folder
Sounds like you checked the HD/Library directory. Check the Home/Library folder? You should have a Sounds folder. At least in 10.5.6 there is one. Your system info confirms you are still using 10.5.2. Have you considered updating?
I just checked the sounds in Mail Preferences and I do not have the swoosh sound listed as an option to choose. I listened to them all & none of them makes a swoosh sound. Perhaps that sound is not included in os 10.5.6.
If the swoosh sound is not in your Home directory, search the net for the swoosh sound (email sounds), install to your desktop, then move it to the Home directory sound folder.
Go to Mail Preferences/General, select New Mail Sound and from the drop down window select Add. Select your sound.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. Send some mail to yourself to make sure your mail alert is working properly.

Why did the swoosh sound turn off in Mail?

Thank you.

First is your volume turned up and not muted?
Also check system preferences/sound/sound effects, make sure play sound effects thru internal speakers is checked, make sure alert volume is turned up (not all the way down), Play user sound effects id checked.

I lost the output sound on my ibookG4

So I just installed Leopard on my ibookG4 and now my OUTPUT device for sound is no longer working. when i turn my computer on it makes the normal opening sound, but when i try to listen to itunes or anything that has sound it's dead. i looked at my system preferences section and i cannot select an output device and there is no device selected. can anyone help?

this has been happening to a lot of leopard users, including me. however after installing 10.5.1 I haven't had any more problems. however if you are still having problems you need to zap your PRAM. To do this you need to turn your computer off, then hold down apple, option, p and r and then while holding those down turn your computer back on and continue holding those keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the start up noise. this should fix it. If you haven't installed 10.5.1 do that and then you should have no problems. hope this helps

I've lost the 'whoosh' sound when I send mail. How do I get it back?

I used to have a 'whoosh' sound when I sent mail but it has disappeared. How do I get it back? I'm using a version 10.9.1 Maverick upgrade.

Thanx Tony T1. I have been having issues with mail ever since I 'upgraded' to Mavericks. Why doesn't Apple leave things alone? Now I often can't scroll in Mail and have to shut down and restart Mail to get it to work. That never happened until the Mavericks 'upgrade'.

Random swoosh sound on iPad Air iOS 8

For the last 3 - 4 days my iPad Air iOS 8 and now 8.02 is sending a weird, annoying SWOOSH sound. I have done everything I could think of to get rid of the sound, like restart, reset All Settins, reset Network Setting, sounds off, background App Refresh off but nothing works. My iPad Mini ISO 8 and iPhone 5 iSO 8 are not effected. Does somebody knows hot to get rid of the spooky sound.

Hello Lola75,
Check which action is set to make the Swoosh sound under Settings, Sounds and change it or set it to none.
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
My Swoosh sound is under the Classic category at the bottom.
Best Regards,
Nubz

Swoosh Sound

I no longer hear the swoosh sound on ongoing email...how do I get it back? I used to have it and now it's just gone.

Hello Angela390
It's always particularly helpful when your profile is filled out (and up to date). Ideally you should mention your product or computer model, the model identifier and the OS you are running. To find the detail go to …  > About this Mac > (plus) More info. A rough guide to your location can often help too. Anyone trying to help you would be greatly encouraged to see this.
See if you can find a minute to do this, maybe we can then answer your question.
