Facebook app (400.0.37.76)
==========================
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
 - Tap "Profile settings" (with your name and photo next to it)
 - 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"
