In the Facebook app, you can follow these items to find "Sounds in the app":
- Tap the "Hamburger menu" (three lines) in the top right from the main page
- Tap the "gear" for settings in the top right

- Scroll down and select "Media and contacts"
- Disable the toggle for "Sounds in the app"
For what it's worth, the "Media and contacts" section also showed up for me when searching in settings for "sound"
