Hi prettypleaseineedhelp,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to turn off the sound, when messages are sent in the Messages app. We can help point you in the right direction.


You're correct with unchecking "Play sound effects" for the Messages app. Just to be sure, did you follow these steps: Play sound effects in Messages on Mac


If so, and you continue to hear the sound notifications, we recommend to restart your Mac. This can help resolve unexpected behavior. To restart your Mac, please go to the menu bar and select the Apple icon > Restart. Then, test to see if you continue to hear the sound notifications when messages are sent.


Please keep us posted with the results.


Best regards.
