The title says everything!! i was thinking the scratch sound the old moto V80 made, or maybe something else. If anyone knows how to change it please let me know!!

Thanks

I just turn the sound off, but I do remember reading somewhere about adding new sounds. I'll look around.

My Herald came with a HTC app. preinstalled that enabled me to turn it off or specify another sound. It's in the registry somewhere if the app isn't installed btw.

Look for a key in the registry called "SlidingSound". It has 3 keys, "0", "1", and "2", each corresponding to the 3 sound options. Copy the .wav files you want into the windows directory. Choose any one of the 3 keys and change the "in" and "out" string values to the sounds you want. I tried this and it worked. I think I'll make my slide out sound like a cash register until it becomes more annoying than humorous.

where are you finding that in the registry? I found the slidingsound in the registry...but nothing where it shows the other tones or me having the ability to add mine...I'm using total commander

never mind...found the registry...but new problem is total commander won't let me copy and past the wav files that I want to use into the windows directory. it won't allow me to replace the other slider sounds also...what am I doing wrong?

Does anyone know the registry setting that initiates this? I am trying to get it to work for Hermes and have the Sliding Sound application installed.. and it recognizes my sounds, but it doesn't initialize when i open up the keyboard or close it.. any help would be appreciated
