Turn off Notification sound for the News App on macos Monterey

Under System Preferences>Notifications & Focus, the "News" application does not have the ability to check or uncheck the "Play sound for notification" function that exists for other apps. Does anyone know how to turn the sound notification off for the "News" application without having to turn on focus mode or turning notification entirely off?

Hi oq23i7tgyp9,



Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

 Have you tried testing this issue while booted up into safe mode or under a new user account? If not, this is the best place to start.  Starting up your Mac in safe mode can help you determine whether issues you’re experiencing are caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up. A new user account will help us determine if there is a setting possibly causing the issue.


How to use safe mode on your Mac


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Delete a user or group on Mac (to remove the test account once completed)


If the issue is no longer occurring while in safe mode, restart your computer to startup normally, and see if the issue returns at that point. If it does, you'll want to test your login items using the steps in this guide:


Remove login items to resolve startup problems on your Mac


Keep us posted on your findings and if the issue persists, just let us know.


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
