I have a Pixel 3a with Android 11 installed on it. 

I have a lot of **notifications**, like *SMS, Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook*, etc... all beeping all the day. I would like to remove *just the **sound*** of all these notifications, letting them vibrate, flash... whatever other things it does... 

However, the ***calls** should not be muted*, I would like to have normal sound when someone calls me (via normal call, or via WhatsApp, Messanger, Viber, etc).

I can't believe at this day is not possible a thing like this on Android 11...

The idea is not to manage all the possible applications individually, but to **mute all NON-call sounds** in general on the phone.

I suppose there should be a more standard solution than [this tricky one][2]. I think there should be a setting like `SilentNotifications` `On/Off`, if such thing is not present, it should be (Google tracker [issue][1] created)
