How can I turn the sound off on notifications?
How do I silence the sound for syncing notifications?

You can actually go to Settings, Select Notifications & Actions and then scroll down where the Dropbox icon is shown and turn off the noticiation settings (Banners and Sounds)
You can actually click on it and select what you want to have with Notifications

I thoguht it was an issue with my install so I did a fresh install a week ago. And as I've read, this hasn't worked for previous people in the thread either. Is there any other ideas/solutions to this problem? I don't have this problem with any other app notifications other than DropBox as I've customized plenty of other apps to suit my needs.

Okay, y'all are gonna love this. I have my Dropbox account on my girlfriend's laptop (I'm sure you can already see where this is going) and it'd sit behind me on her desk and everytime it'd sync it'd play it on her laptop. In my defense though, her laptop is unplugged and lid is closed and I had no idea the thing was even on because none of the lights were on. I feel like an idiot, sorry for wasting your time Rich.

No worries. I've done similar, only with a remote connection to my computer at work. The sounds continued to play through the remote connection and I thought it was the local computer (different app, not Dropbox, but VERY similar situation).
