How can I turn the sound off on notifications?

How do I silence the sound for syncing notifications?

I used Yvonne C's method, but on my computer, it didn't work exactly as she wrote:

I clicked Settings - System - Notifications & Actions, and scrolled down to 'Dropbox', en there, I could set all notifications to 'on' or 'off'. So it's the same as the setting in the Dropbox app itself: no sound means no notifications at all....

I want a notification, but not sound! Please, Dropbox-developers, help us out!

Laura, did you click on the word 'Dropbox'? That gets me three slider options. 

Notifications.  on/off

Show notification banners. On/off

Play a sound when a notification arrives.   On/off

Yvonne's method worked for me. Dropbox was there twice so I clicked on each one and turned sounds to off but left the others on. I now get the box with a notification but no sound.

Thanks Yvonne C. Your solution worked perfectly on Windows 10.

Any way to turn this sound off in Windows 8? This seems new, I never got this insistent bonging before that I remember. I have one program that saves it's data file every 10 seconds, seemingly, it's data file lives in Dropbox, and the whole time I'm in the program (MS Money Sunset Edition) it bongs every 10 seconds. Very annoying.

Thank you, Yvonne! I didn't even see I could click Dropbox to get more options! It works.

Perfect solution Yvonne and Laura H: I went through settings to get to the sound (only) notification for DB. Now I get the visual notification but not the sound.

Thanks Yvonne, you saved my friendship with the guy in the office next to me.

Windows 10:

From Windows icon (bottom left screen or Window key on keyboard):

Select "Settings" -- right above "Power"

Select "System"

Select "Notifications & Actions"

Scroll down to Dropbox and turn it off.

Yvonne C.'s method works perfectly for Windows 10. Thanks, Yvonne.
