Google has released a new collection of ringtones, notification sounds and alarm sounds for all Pixel phones. The collection, called “Gems,” is available now through the Pixel-exclusive Sounds app.
As reported by 9to5Google, this collection joins the already diverse list of collection choices on Pixel phones, each with their own tones or sounds. Some of the biggest are “Pixel Sounds” and “Seasonal Celebrations” during special times of the year.
However, as Google has continued to add more visual customization options to its Pixel smartphone lineup, sounds are now also getting some love in the new Pixel “Sounds” app update. The most recent version 3.1 (567492877) is available on the Google Play Store, and although the update coincides with the launch of the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro this week, it should be available on all Pixel devices.
The new sounds are designed to be richer, more modern and more dynamic than previous offerings. Plus, they sound more complex, detailed and varied than traditional ringtones found in third-party apps. It includes a total of eight ringtones, nine notification sounds, and nine alarm sounds, all named according to their earthy vibe.
New “Gems” collection found in Ringtone, Notification Sound and Alarm Sound sections of Pixel devices
To access the new sounds on your Pixel, simply open the Settings app and go to the Sound & vibration section. From here you can navigate to the individual menus for the phone ringtone, default notification sound, or default alarm sound, where you will then see a new “Gems” category displayed under “Pixel Sounds.”
This is a welcome addition for Pixel phone owners, as it gives them more options for customizing their ringtones and other sounds. The new “Gems” collection includes a variety of different styles, so there should be something for everyone, especially when paired with a matching wallpaper, like the ones you can create yourself at help from upcoming Pixel AI wallpapers or those created by the Pixel Superfan community. .
