Notification sound when banner disappears.

I have notifications set to not produce a sound, and that works fine. But when a notification banner disappears, a sound (funk) is produced. How can I get rid of that secondary sound?

MacBook Air

Hi dwonk786,


Does the issue occur if Do Not Disturb is enabled? You can learn how to enable it here: Use Do Not Disturb on your Mac.


If so, we would recommend testing the issue in Safe Mode. You can learn how to do so here: Safe Mode.


If the issue persists, we would recommend testing in a new User Account. You can learn how to do so here: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac.


Thanks again!

Hi dwonk786,


We understand you'd like to disable the sound when a notification banner disappears.


Sounds are not usually played when a notification banner disappears.


To make sure the settings are setup correctly, we would recommend reviewing this article: Use notifications on your Mac, and ensure 'Play sound for notifications' is disabled.


Additionally, you can go to: System Preferences > Sound > 'play user interface sound effects', and disable.


Hope this helps!


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


Cheers!

Thank you for responding!


I'm aware that sounds are not played when a notification banner disappears. In my case, the sound effect Basso is played about 80% of the time about a second after the banner is gone. I disabled 'play user interface sound effects', and that seems to have made no difference.


I really need to get this fixed, because I can't have the computer playing sound effects when I'm in a meeting.
