Is it possible to disable notification sounds on the “Recognize Music” control?

On my iPhone 17 Pro, running iOS 26.1, I’ve installed the “Recognize Music” control on my lock screen.


I usually use it in public or semi-public spaces to recognize music that is playing in the background. I’d like it to be discreet. If I’m at a friends house at a gathering, for example, they might be playing music that I’m interested in, but I may not want to interrupt the conversation. Or if I’m in a restaurant, I may want to know what’s playing without really calling attention to myself.


Unfortunately, when it has successfully determined what music it hears, it uses the Default Alert sound (which in my case is Glass). I can’t find any way to silence it. It doesn’t show up in the Notifications Settings. Since it uses Shazam technology, I installed the Shazam app, thinking that if I silenced the Shazam app that would possibly also affect the “Recognize Music” control, but that had no success. I already have notifications disabled for (Apple) Music.


Does anyone know if it is possible to silence the alert of a Control?
