TikTok is designed to be a personalized escape. Don't let a single audio clip ruin your scroll. Blocking a sound takes seconds but can save you weeks of annoyance.
That's it! You've successfully blocked the sound on TikTok. From now on, you won't see videos that use that sound in your For You page or in your Following feed.
If you don't want to fully block a sound (maybe you just hate how people are using it), try the softer approach.
Sometimes you aren't trying to block a sound, but rather "unblock" one that says it's unavailable. This often happens due to copyright restrictions or regional locks.
The fastest way to stop hearing a specific sound is to tell the algorithm you don't like the videos using it. While this doesn't "block" the sound globally, it trains your feed to stop showing it to you.
Select the "Not Interested" icon (usually a broken heart).
