Why.. would we? This makes no sense.
I never used twitter, but I still know what the notification sound sounds like because of memes
I don't. What kind of memes centre around Twitter notification sounds, anyway?
There's silly meme video compilations, and they are about anything
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.
Important emails. All other notifications are unnecessary garbage.
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.
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.
Discord is the only thing muted for me, but I get so few notifications anyway it doesn't matter.
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.
I don't even know what my messages notification sounds like.
My phones have been silent forever. I hate all notification sounds.
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.
Met my husband on grindr. Have no idea what the notification sound is.
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?
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.
You assume I'm ever "about in public"?
Not at all
No, you're safe.
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. :)
No, why would I?
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.
No because I’m not obsessed with how other people spend their time
I have no idea what it sounds like but I figured it’s because everyone keeps their phones muted. I know I do.
I don't know what any notifications sound like
No
for context, this is what it sounds like:

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.
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?
Put everything on silent and non-vibrate. Disable any sort of blinky or flashy light that seeks your attention. Abandon civilization brother. Be free.
Does it even make a custom sound? I thought it would just use the default notification sound
No- is it like a grunt?
Not straight but asexual and i have no idea
I recently learned that the annoying two-tones "whistle" notification is/was Twitter, so that sort of counts right?
I don't know, and reading the other comments that's not too strange. That said, I'm incredibly dense regarding cues like this, so I would be the last one to know probably.
If only fucking streaming apps would get rid of their fucking boot-up intro noises. Fuck all of them that do that.
Dude, lesbians don't either. You're safe. Though i imagine some straight women in poly relationships with bi men may recognize it
I know it makes a unique sound solely due to memes, but i don't know what that sound is
