Currently the Mastodon for iOS notification sound is the system default one which I'm only used to hearing from the pizza delivery app which leads to some mixed feelings

@orangeTsar There's really no reason for it to make any other sound than the bloop that everyone already recognizes from the web app

@Gargron You're right, elephant noises should be an option though

Dabdullah Öcalan, there used to be a Twitter widget in Mac OS and it made a tweet sound when you tweeted. The app should make a quiet toot sound when you toot your toot.

@grishka @Gargron The sound should get louder every time a toot gets a boost

The app also allows me to not get push notifications from people I don't follow, which is very useful

@Gargron can't resist the shameless plug for currentlyuntitled.design/sound and the couple of sound packs @talon, @guilevi and myself made with a bunch of notification sounds under CC attribution. I would say that having unique notification sounds, preferably customizable ones, is also an accessibility feature pretty much for the reason you just gave. If I hear that iOS tritone I don't know if someone just mentioned me on social media, someone just scored in sports or there was an alert from my banking app. So having apps give unique sounds really helps triaging what's more pressing to look at. So I really hope you consider changing that default sound to something else, whether it's one of these, something else or we could make something unique just for the mastodon app if you like.

@Gargron Unique alert sounds are helpful in discerning which app I need to pay attention to versus which app I can safely ignore.
