Google cam sounds (how to change)

I’m trying to set up different sound notifications from 2am to 5am (I can’t find that setting) when my camera notice people from 2am to 5am 

this would be very helpful so I can wake up if someone step on my dryway and is walking around my cars  .. I would like for that notification sound to wake me up (basically i would love for that sound to be louder like ringtone)

Unlike the older Google Nest cameras and doorbells that get installed in the Google Nest app, the newer Google Nest cameras and doorbells that get installed in the Google Home app (like your battery camera) only have sound detection for carbon monoxide and smoke detector alarms.

Actually I have sound notifications when camera notice someone but it’s not loud enough to wake me up..: it’s just one type of sound not loud enough

I guess you must have one of the older Google Nest Outdoor Cameras installed in the Google Nest app, not the Google Nest Cam (Battery) indicated in your post.

However, Google Nest provides only standard notifications for both the Google Nest app and the Google Home app.

It’s not older.. it is google nest cam (battery) and I have google home app, thanks for trying to resolve my problem.. I really find it annoying that I can’t have loud notifications because cameras are mostly for security reasons so I can be notified instantly.. in the morning it’s to late if my car is already stolen

Sorry for not realizing your concern was not about detecting sounds, but rather the sound of the notification. I've seen numerous other posts in this forum from customers asking for more options on how notifications sound. You could try leaving "feedback" for Google Nest; so far they have not added any notification options:
