Haptic notifications without sound for Activities app?

I can't seem to find a setting that will keep haptic on for notification from Activities without sound. I want these notifications (like stand reminders, goal completions, etc) to do haptic, but not make a sound. It seems to be all or nothing, as if you choose 'send to notification center' it does not do either.

Third-Party App Notification Sounds I use a 3rd Party app called Tiimo to help me manage, well my life basically, but especially executive functioning, because I’m on the Autism Spectrum. So this app gives me alerts all throughout the day & the sound notifications are very helpful. But the default 3rd Party App notification sound is so very jarring, to the point of undoing some of the benefits of the app. Is there a way to change the notification sound for 3rd Party Apps? And I don’t mean customize it for each app, just change the sound all 3rd Party Apps use. Most 3rd Party Apps I turn the sound notifications off, because they’re unnecessary & jarring, but this app is the one exception where it’s pretty necessary.

Cannot change the sound level of notification Hi all, I did this setting does: Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringer and Alerts > Change with Buttons. When I change the sound level with the side buttons to the lowest, the media sound stops, but the notification from apps (such as Teams...) still very loud. How can I change the setting for notification sound? How to mute the notification sound? Are there different steps to set: Ringer volume; Notification sound; Media volume....? Thank you

Notification Sound customisation This subject has been raised for a number of years now. I've found references back to 2017. Why are Apple so reluctant to allow us to change the sound for a notification. We have so many apps now all sending notifications but you cannot distinguish one or the other because they all sound the same. If my camera triggers at home, why can I not have a different sound from that of my doorbell so when the phone is in my pocket I know immediately what the notification refers too. I also think in comparison to Android the sound library is pretty poor. Come on Apple it can't be that difficult to allow us to choose a notification sound for various apps.

Did you try sliding up and muting your Watch’s sounds. On mine that leaves the Haptic Touch working.

Ah, easy! I was thrown off by the fact that some other apps have both 'haptic' and 'sound' settings in their notifications preferences. Thanks
