Toggle a voice service’s wake word chime on or off

When a voice service is added to your voice-enabled Sonos product, the service can play a chime when you say the wake word to notify you that your Sonos product is listening. This chime can be turned on and off in the Sonos app under the voice service’s settings.

You can toggle the wake word chime on or off for Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant. Sonos Voice Control does not use a wake word chime.
