How can I silence only the ‘text sent’ sound without silencing the incoming text sound?

I’ve done my research and basically I’ve come to the conclusion that I literally have to assign a ringtone to each individual contact. As far as a new or unidentified texter, their message will vibrate, but will be silenced. It really doesn’t seem like anything serious but it can be annoying when I’m trying to message for help while putting my kids to sleep and this loud noise happens regardless of how low the ringer volume is. Just a small example of why it’s annoying. I can do without a confirmation sound that my text message was sent. That‘s all.

There is no option in the sounds setting to turn that off.


Have you tried just putting your phone on vibrate when you're putting your kids to sleep?
