Honestly...the discord notification or my phone vibrating.
When you're busy with something but the crew starts a back and forth in the group chat and it just keeps going off.
There should be a setting that only sends a notification once from the same channel over a set period of time.
I find I simultaneously want them to stfu but also know everything they're saying.
Its not the notification sound mind you. Its the sound of the phone vibrating against whatever its resting on.
The key for me is, set notifications for DMs and @s only.
Don't need to be getting pinged for channel messages.
I have a super low tolerance for distracting noises so I deadass turned discord message sound off.
Phone goes brrr
