iPhone 11: Turn off message send sound, but keep incoming text notifications

Is there a way to turn off the "swoosh" sound on iPhone 11 when sending messages without silencing incoming text notifications? Even with my phone on silent and volume turned to zero there is still a "swoosh" sound when I hit send on a text message unless I turn off all sound notifications for the text message app. It is really irritating.

Currently, there is no way on any iPhone to turn off ONLY the “swoosh” send sound while keeping incoming text tones ON. Apple does not provide a separate toggle for the outgoing‑message sound at this time.
