Like, are you ever about in public, hear that ding and think “ah yes, homosexuality.”

    The only thing I think when I hear someone else’s notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren’t they silencing it?

    Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.

      Only older people from what I’ve seen. At least, whenever I hear a ping out in public, it’s always someone older

      So, to answer your question, no, not really

    Im not even straight and I don’t know the sound, why would anyone who has no reason to use the app know it?

    Who keeps notifications on? Anything? I put my phone on silent back in 2012 and I’ve never looked back.

    Edit. Sorry, to clarify. I turn notification sounds off. Still get the actual pop up… Some not important ones get total silents but still pop a bubble so at some point I’ll look at it. For those things that need to be noticed i make sure they vibrate and pop up on my watch. Still not a sound to be heard.

      This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.

      Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there’s an emergency call from work or a friend

      Me. I work freelance. I can’t afford to miss an email.

      The trick is only to have important inbox notifications on and no notifications for any other apps. Then you don’t need to put your phone on silent.

    Unless grinder got a custom notification sound, saying something like “Im gonna prone bone til you gone” i would probably write it off as some message notification

    No I didn’t, but you made me curious so I just looked it up.

    It’s not a sound I remember hearing anywhere, but I certainly could have and not known what it was at the time so ignored it.

      This made me look it up as well, and I cannot express how disappointed I am that it isn’t a grinding sound.

    No volume, vibrate, led, or push notifications. If you want my attention badly enough, call. And I will screen the call and text you back at my convenience. I will not be on a leash. Now excuse me while I doomscroll for 2 to 17 hours.

    You know I actually turned the notifications off on that app and I regularly keep my phone on silent… So even though I have used the app I don’t actually know what noise it makes.

    I’m not straight and have no idea what it sounds like. (Not what you asked, but my incredibly straight parents have no clue what Grindr even is, if that helps. :)
