I am trying to create a focus so that I can play Spotify, or similar with no notification sounds of any kind. I tried Do Not Disturb but Discord still pings. I created this focus, first with “allow some apps” and only allowing Spotify (but it does not appear in the list of available apps), so instead I switched to “Silence Some Apps” and added Discord, Messages, and Telegram. All of the apps still send notification sounds.

I had previously made a Focus that had Allow Some Apps, but no apps were added, this Focus still allowed notification sounds. I have tried sleep focus.

I followed the steps on the support page with no luck. How do I silence notifications on my Mac?

ETA: I even went into Notifications in the settings menu and turned off sounds for the apps I am trying to silence and am still getting sounds.

    I think the notification sound settings you want are in discord. I don’t think they’re properly integrating with the os to 100% handle notifications. I get the sound off channel pings even in sleep focus too. It’s not an os notification sound, so I’m sure they aren’t leveraging the os for it
