Was hoping for a new card, not a new app sound.

I wonder what percentage of people have their phones on silent most of the time? I do and I didnāt even know there were sounds in the Monzo app for months!

Mineās always on silent, unless Iām expecting an important phone call, e.g. from the doctor, etc. I couldnāt tell you which apps have sounds, if any.

My phone is on silent. I wouldnāt notice any of this.

I do have mine dead silent for over a decade. I am not even used to my alarm tones as they seem to be different each time.
I hear these. My partner refuses to silence his phone at night so the 1am money paid sound wakes me up

Hi! Iāve noticed that the notification sound for money coming into my account has suddenly changed from the lovely old cash-register āka-chingā sound to the new, rather dull sound.
I havenāt changed any of my notification settings, and I much preferred the old sound. Iāve also seen that other Monzo customers have noticed the same change today.
Could you please pass on my feedback that Iād really like the old ka-ching sound back ā or, even better, give us a choice of notification sounds?
It was a tiny thing, but hearing that satisfying ka-ching when money arrived was one of the things I really liked about Monzo!

I doubt if theyāll change it back. Itās meant to be audible branding which theyāve worked on in earnest.

Well, sounds for the Monzo app are now disabled on my iPhone thanks to whatever this godawful replacement is.
I donāt need a banking app to have something that sounds like the Netflix startup tune, a simple ding or the cash register sound sufficed.

Result.
If your device can replace the sounds imposed by an app, you can set it to play the old sounds instead of the new. The old sound files can be played/downloaded here:

Rather ironic they call it āGood vibrationsā just for us to mute them all. 
Now we just need the new sounds, to be available for download
I think theyāre pretty nice, itāll only play when my phone is unlocked and Iām not wearing my watch though. Which is nice, into get monzo notifications when my phone is locked and in my pocket, unless Iām expecting something, in which case my phone will send the notification to my watch, which then doesnāt play the sound on the phone
Just did a test transfer and Iām still getting the ker-ching. Not bothered as I quite like it as thereās no other sound like it from my other banks. No doubt itāll change.
Are you Android?
I am - and still have the old sounds.
Iām suspecting the iOS app has been updated with the last release, but Android hasnāt (yet)
Their article says this:
But we also wanted to evolve this into the world of sound. And with the launch of Get busy living, it seemed like the perfect time to delve into what we sound like, alongside what we look like. A different way into representing money working harder, so customers can spend less time stressing and more time living.
The entire sonic identity which we call āGood vibrationsā - includes the new sonic logo - which is engineered from the name āMonzoā and designed around how money should feel. Our new sound will be heard everywhere - from our latest ads straight into the app. Weāve added custom audio for every send, receive, progress update, and milestone that you reach.
What is ācustom audioā? This implies it can be changed back?
The āGet busy livingā slogan, and associated adverts Iāve seen, appears to be aimed towards edgy youngsters rather than professionals. Iām wondering if this is why they changed the sound?
Itās almost like they are trying to rebrand without changing the logo as such. Shiny new cards, new tones, new adverts aimed towards a certain demographic.
Iām sure they know what theyāre doing, butā¦
