I’m sure there are some people who really appreciate this new feature but considering how many posts started showing up in my newsfeed along the lines of “How do I turn off this $@#&! Facebook beep!,” I know I’m not the only one who does not enjoy it.
So if you want to turn it off (or on, if somehow that wasn’t the new default for you and you don’t even know you have this option), simply go to the Notifications Settings page > How You Get Notifications > On Facebook and check or uncheck the Play a Sound box as desired.
Note: You can also get to this page by rolling over the Notifications icon and clicking the Settings link in the top-right of the dropdown box that appears.

What I want to know is how to just get the Facebook sound. Everytime I get the Facebook sound my Samsung note 5 also plays the notification sound, it's double noise. I have to keep notification on due to txt messenger, I'd love each app to have a sound, not a group sound for all notifications. Can I do that?
Hi Donna.
I'm not sure if this will work for you as every device is different and I don't have a Samsung Note. But most of my devices have two different places to set notification sounds. One is in the Device's settings. Go to Settings > Notifications & Quiet Time (menu name might be different) and there is a list of all the apps where you can set the device's notification for FB there. Then the Facebook app itself has its own settings. Go to App Settings > Notifications to check that.
I hope that helps!
