If you built a macOS desktop app that makes notification sounds even when the machine is in "Do Not Disturb" focus mode you should feel very bad about what you have done

(My laptop made two mysterious ping noises during the online talk I gave this morning)

Thinking about this further: there is genuinely not a scenario in the world where I want my computer to make a noise to accompany a notification. That's what my phone is for.

And I don't want my phone to make noises either - I have an Apple Watch, having it vibrate is about all the notification interruption I can handle

@simon the only reason my phone should make a noise is for alarms I’ve set. Specifically my morning wake-up alarm.
