TikTok: How to fix ‘This sound isn’t available’ error

The TikTok “this sound isn’t available” error is deeply annoying because the app often doesn’t give a clear indication as to why a video’s been muted at all. However, the TikTok muted video audio error is both frustrating and often can be traced to one specific cause: that the user’s video has been reported, such as for a copyright violation. If that’s the case, if there any way to fix the TikTok “your video has been muted” error, or is the creator stuck with a video with no sound?

Is there a TikTok ‘this sound isn’t available’ error fix?

To fix the TikTok “this sound isn’t available” or “your video has been muted” error:

  • Re-upload the video without the copyrighted content, such as a song.
  • Close and restart the TikTok app.
    • Sometimes it’s just a temporary bug.
  • Re-upload the video but add a sound to the video during the editing phase, then reduce that sound’s volume to zero.
    • This should stop TikTok from detecting the copyrighted content automatically, so it will only get taken down if it’s manually spotted and reported. This has to be edited within TikTok itself, not a third-party editor.

The reason the last method works is that the TikTok app will only see the licensed sound that’s been added, even if the sound has no volume, and so will flag the video as fine. If the user is unable to re-upload the video for whatever reason, then unfortunately they are stuck with a muted video as there is no way to fix the problem after the video has been reported.
