I know people have been begging for this feature for a while, but I was happy without it.

And now that it's there, I don't see any option to mute it.

am I missing something or is that somehting that'll (hopefully) be added in the future ? I can easily see it becoming obnoxious, especially with games spamming achievements such as Payday 2.

There's a new option in settings/ notifications, "play a sound when a notification toast is displayed".
I disabled it but haven't gotten any achievements since it was added so i couldn't test it.

It auto disables all toast notification sounds, which is what I don't want and specified multiple times when it was still in beta.

It was added to the beta last week and the stable yesterday.
