- Find a video containing a sound you want to block.
- Tap and hold on the screen to bring up the options.

- Select ‘Hide videos with this sound.‘
There you have it; that’s how to block a particular sound you do not want to hear again on TikTok. Following the steps above will effectively block all videos that contain the song contained in the video you selected.
