How to turn off sound effects?

After upgrading to Sierra, various apps now have sound effects. I have unchecked interface sound effects in the Sound setting. But mail still makes a swoosh sound when sending anything. I'm not sure yet what other apps are still using sound effects.

Is there some way to turn off all sound effects?

some applications have their own internal settings not affected by system settings in the Finder

for instance to turn off the "Swoosh" in mail go to Mail>Preferences click on the General Tab and uncheck Play Sounds for other Mail functions.
