grindr has a custom notification noise? isn't that indiscreet for an app like that?
Yeah I don't know any apps that have custom notifications out of the box these days, apart from Messenger. It's too convenient just to use the operating system's API and default to the user's default sound.
I don't know if there's some way to override/customise the notification sounds on Android on per-app basis. At one point in history I wanted Twitter to go [random bird noises] and Reddit to go "Le." but since I don't use either of them anymore I really didn't investigate this further.
In WhatsApp you can set custom notification sounds, I believe it even supports notification sounds on a per-contact basis. So safe to say you can do it as an app developer.
I used to use custom sounds I downloaded for a few people and it was useful, but it's clunky and time-consuming to set up for even a few contacts. I had to get the sounds on a PC because all the sound apps on the store feel like malware and are riddled with ads.
I think there is an option but it might be dependent on which company makes your phone.
It's actually really easy for a developer and for a user. Apps can provide a notification sound for themselves, but the Android API automatically creates a user interface inside of the notifications settings that let a user set a sound of their choice on a per-notification-channel (for example, Discord has separate channels for "Incoming calls", "Direct messages", "Friend requests", and a heap more) basis.
Signal does, that dee-deep sound it makes.
When I installed it used the default. I'm on GrapheneOS, how about you?
On my Samsung Android phone it's configurable but I think when I installed the app aeons ago it used their distinctive ding. On desktop Linux incoming messages throw standard push notifications.
I'm wondering whether it automatically copied using the default notification from my old phone then. I'm pretty sure I didn't change the Signal Notification sounds on my current phone.

For me, it only ever made the normal plonk, nothing fancy and custom.
I have the Pornhub jingle set as my rintone. I regularly hear "I know that sound where is it from?"
Tell them it's grindr next time.
That's brilliant, you're hilarious.

It would be hilarious to build some little thing, basically a bluetooth speaker you could stick somewhere, to play stuff like that from under a table or behind a couch, from something like a phone speaker.
I'm sure I've seen something like this, like a Bluetooth noise box, powered by batteries..
I wouldn't want to use one of those music listening type "sexy speakers" like what Dankpods has. Powa ahn. Blewtewth moad. Because it would sound too big and sharp, needs to be out of a tinny little 5mm driver.
I showed my partner this post and he let out a genuine belly laugh. Well done!
On one hand, I'm glad I don't have too many really bigoted relatives. On the other hand, this would be so fucking funny.
