Tips

If your phone is on silent, new notifications will show on the screen but there will be no sound.

Most phone models enable individual applications to be muted, including the 112 Suomi application. If the phone is on silent, it is not possible to enable the sounds of an individual application.

Notification Recognition

The public warning sound signal is distinctive, and most people in Finland will recognise it from the public warnings on television and radio. The Morse code sound for “CQ” (seek you) lasts two to three seconds and is the international code for public warnings. 

The public notification sound signal is a short “ti tu” lasting about half a second. 

The sound signals are not repeated – they will only sound once.
