I may be the last person to figure this out, but in case I'm not:
My Mastodon browser tab started making an irregular, infrequent beeping sound a few weeks ago, despite my having turned off notification sounds literally years ago.
Turns out the latest Mastodon version (which added quoting) also added a new category of notification sounds that's ON BY DEFAULT when you're quoted.
There's a switch to disable it in the settings on the notifications tab.
You're welcome.
@mattblaze Haha, I had the same problem when quotes were introduced.
@mattblaze It also seems to somehow bypass the mute switch on my mobile device, too. The other day my phone started dinging, with the switch in the mute position and it was notifications from the web interface.

what fun! An audible notification when someone ridicules you 😜
@mattblaze
Eye did NOT know that, Matt.
Thank YOU for telling me and others of my ilk.
That's an annoying UI choice on their part. Thanks for the tip
Sorry, I forgot to add the #MildCriticismOfTheMastodonUI hashtag.
@mattblaze Thankfully, I had your posts filtered for that exact hashtag. Thank you for your consideration to others 🤣
@UrbanDjent No one would see it otherwise!
@mattblaze Watch out, or John Mastodon will block you for an error like that.
