Is sound recognition possible while do not disturb is on?

Can sounds recognition still notify with the iPhone on do not disturb?

It sounds like an excellent accessibility feature, if you can rely on not having all other notification buzzing in the middle of the night.

First, Apple says: Don’t rely on your iPhone to recognize sounds in circumstances where you may be harmed or injured, in high-risk or emergency situations, or for navigation.


Sound recognition is possible in DND mode but the notifications will be delivered silently - no chime, if the phone has been put in DND mode! Recognize sounds using iPhone - Apple Support


Also, be mindful when setting up BedTime, DND can be activated through these settings too! Use Bedtime to track your sleep on your iPhone - Apple Support
