File > Open Data Folder > Sounds

If it is not here, your MT4 installation isn't correct.

Not there anymore, try looking in Program Files:
ie. Windows 7
C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\MetaTrader-BrokerName\Sounds
It never gets easier, you just get better

Hi Ferrux you were referring to the C/Program folder, where the
installation of Mt4 is .. right ?
I never paid much attention to sounds files but generally that is the way i find them_
I have to say ,,sounds are not easy to control unless it is sounds for the alerts arrow placed on chart
to alert me when price touches the level i want _
I am able to change that but when i change other sounds
in Mt4 for the news, stops, timeout etc ,,, they don't obey to me and sound stays the same_
Not sure if it is Mt4 limitation or mine_

If I am not mistaken, when a popup occurs (alert), there's always a sound by default which is alert.wav and can't be changed ... So if you have an indicator set to give a popup + a sound, no matter the sound file set, the popup will ring the default alert.wav.

If you want to change it or delete it, you must override the alert.wav sound file ... I guess here

Thanx Boss, I will do few trials ... I am not much into Mt4 sounds
but it reminded me of something i have seen about "trading with sounds" and it seems to be a bit more relaxing
just an alternative and a break once in a while, rather than staring at charts all day_
Good day to you
