Turn Off Discord Notifications or Sounds
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Open Discord User Settings > Notifications, change the available desktop-notification or sound controls, then check any server or channel overrides. Server settings can override the global notification choice.
Prepare and identify the exact scope
Decide whether the problem is every Discord alert, one sound type, one server, one channel, or Windows banners. Record any server or channel overrides before changing global settings.
Open Discord notification settings
Open Discord User Settings and select Notifications.
Change the global controls
Turn off or adjust only the desktop notification and sound controls you want to change.
Review server and channel overrides
Open the affected server or channel notification settings and remove an override that conflicts with the global choice.
Verify the supported result
Ask a trusted contact to send one ordinary message and one mention only if a test is appropriate. Confirm the desired banner and sound behavior while calls and critical account notices still behave as intended.
Understand limits and consequences
Discord's global notification switches, server settings, channel overrides, streamer mode, and Windows notifications can stack. Silencing one layer does not guarantee every other notification source is disabled.
Use the safest supported follow-up
Use Mute server, Notification Settings, or a channel override for narrow control. Set a duration deliberately and revisit permanent mutes so important moderation or security messages are not missed.

If it does not work
- If a sound continues, identify the event and check Discord plus Windows Settings > Notifications > Discord. Reset only the conflicting override; do not disable all system audio or revoke unrelated microphone permissions.
