Huawei: Turn TalkBack Vibration and Sound Feedback On or Off

When TalkBack vibrates and plays a tone after every single tap, typing or scrolling can feel exhausting fast. This happens because vibration feedback and sound feedback are both switched on by default in the TalkBack settings on Huawei phones. How loud those tones are and whether other app audio gets muted while TalkBack speaks depends on a separate audio ducking option.

TalkBack Feedback Settings auf Huawei

TalkBack confirms every tap, swipe or selection with a short vibration and a sound cue by default. On Huawei phones this behavior is controlled inside the TalkBack settings, separate from the general accessibility options.

You reach the controls through Open the settingsTap on Accessibility featuresTap on AccessibilityTap on TalkBackTap on More settings. From there you can switch Vibration feedback and Sound feedback on or off independently.

If the tones themselves are fine but too loud or too quiet, adjust Sound feedback volume in the same menu instead of turning feedback off completely.

Audio ducking lowers the volume of music, videos or calls while TalkBack speaks, then restores it afterward. Turning this off lets other audio play at full volume alongside TalkBack, which can make spoken feedback harder to hear.

Disable vibration feedback if the constant buzzing bothers you but you still want to hear TalkBack. Disable sound feedback instead if the tones are the distracting part while vibration is helpful for confirming taps without looking at the screen.

Frequently asked questions

Check whether another setting is causing it, such as general Touch vibration or keyboard haptics under Accessibility featuresAccessibility. TalkBack vibration feedback only controls the confirmation buzz tied to TalkBack actions, not system-wide haptics.
