No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't even know what my messages notification sounds like.
You assume I'm ever "about in public"?
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 would have no idea. It's a standard notification? You can't choose the sound? If it was a ladies site I'd say "vibrate" would be the obvious choice, but for a gay men's site, no idea.
on grinder... still don't know what the sound is. :-( Holy shit, Grindr is so far ahead of any hetero dating app.
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.
2 to 17 inclusive or exclusive?
Not at all
My phones have been silent forever. I hate all notification sounds.
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.
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.
All my coworkers. Full volume.
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.
There are a surprising number of people who have notifications on for stuff that needs to mind its own business.

Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there's an emergency call from work or a friend
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
Important emails. All other notifications are unnecessary garbage.
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I'd paid attention beyond "Oh, a notification"
Im not even straight and I don't know the sound, why would anyone who has no reason to use the app know it?
Hearing it in video memes and having it explained what it is? Only thing I can think of where one might know without having first-hand experience. 🤷🏻♂️
Video memes. Another place I keep the sound at 0.
Maybe that :3.. if the grindr sound was ever a meme I missed it tho
I was thinking about this guy at Eurovision.
I just get a little paranoid that I’ll forget to put my phone on silent and the little old ladies at the thrift will sniff me out.
I love the reaction. "It seems like you are having a lovely weekend here in Malmö" 😂 Happy for him, but understand the embarrassment as well.
I would not have recognized that sound before I heard it now.

for context, this is what it sounds like:
https://youtu.be/kURiwTXmGZg
I thought it sounded like an impression of someone doing the notification sound in a song lol
I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.
No, why would I?
Met my husband on grindr. Have no idea what the notification sound is.
I have no idea what it sounds like but I figured it’s because everyone keeps their phones muted. I know I do.
Put everything on silent and non-vibrate. Disable any sort of blinky or flashy light that seeks your attention. Abandon civilization brother. Be free.
Not straight but asexual and i have no idea
I don't know what any notifications sound like
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.
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.
Same. I couldn't tell you what the notification sounds of any apps sound like.
I know I've heard it in memes before but I've forgotten what it sounds like. Though I'd probably recognize it if I heard it again, maybe?
No because I’m not obsessed with how other people spend their time
No- is it like a grunt?
No
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. :)
I recently learned that the annoying two-tones "whistle" notification is/was Twitter, so that sort of counts right?
If only fucking streaming apps would get rid of their fucking boot-up intro noises. Fuck all of them that do that.
Does it even make a custom sound? I thought it would just use the default notification sound
