# soundName

The name of the sound file to play when a notification arrives.

## Declaration

```swift
var soundName: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The system uses this property’s value to locate a sound file in the app’s bundle. The sound plays when the system receives a push notification. If the system can’t find the specified file, or if the property’s value is the string default, the system plays the default sound.
