the volume for your notification, edit the profile.
You can only delete downloaded ring tones.
About custom notification
You can create exceptions to notification profiles to
receive different notification for incoming messages
and phone calls from specific contacts. For example,
you can create a profile exception that uses the Loud
profile when you receive messages and phone calls
from specific contacts, regardless of the active profile.
Profile exceptions are applied based on the order in
which they appear. If you create multiple profile
exceptions that include the same contact, you must
decide which one to apply first by placing that profile
exception higher in the list.
The BlackBerry® device has a preset profile exception
for important calls. You can add contacts to this profile
exception, or you can delete it.
