Like, are you ever about in public, hear that ding and think “ah yes, homosexuality.”
Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is?

I don't. What kind of memes centre around Twitter notification sounds, anyway?
Duamerthrax 69 points 2 years ago
The only thing I think when I hear someone else's notification is, why the fuck is it so loud and why the fuck aren't they silencing it?
starlinguk 3 points 2 years ago
Important emails. All other notifications are unnecessary garbage.
agamemnonymous 2 points 2 years ago
I turned on my volume the other night to make sure I heard my alarm, and forgot to turn it off. I learned a lot of notification sounds that day. Or would have if I'd paid attention beyond "Oh, a notification"
SkyeStarfall 1 point 2 years ago
Only older people from what I've seen. At least, whenever I hear a ping out in public, it's always someone older
So, to answer your question, no, not really
TabbsTheBat 49 points 2 years ago
Im not even straight and I don't know the sound, why would anyone who has no reason to use the app know it?
TabbsTheBat 9 points 2 years ago
Maybe that :3.. if the grindr sound was ever a meme I missed it tho
andros_rex 12 points 2 years ago
I was thinking about this guy at Eurovision.
I just get a little paranoid that I’ll forget to put my phone on silent and the little old ladies at the thrift will sniff me out.
Lost_My_Mind 3 points 2 years ago
Dude. Fuck the old ladies! I mean, not sexually...but, fuck them if they want to judge you for being gay.
You're going to buy some dvds, or some clothes, or whatever you came to the thrift store for. They're going to droll on living their meaningless lives. And you'll still be getting more cock than they will.
This coming from a straight guy who just wants everyone to be happy being themselves. Unless that true self is a hateful prick who judges others for existing. Fuck those people. You wanna marry a gothic nun vampire hunter? Go for it. I won't understand it, but I don't have to. It's not my life you're affecting. And same for these old ladies. They can either accept you, or fuck off.

I love the reaction. "It seems like you are having a lovely weekend here in Malmö" 😂 Happy for him, but understand the embarrassment as well.
I would not have recognized that sound before I heard it now.
Entertainmeonly 36 points 2 years ago
Who keeps notifications on? Anything? I put my phone on silent back in 2012 and I've never looked back.
Edit. Sorry, to clarify. I turn notification sounds off. Still get the actual pop up.. Some not important ones get total silents but still pop a bubble so at some point I'll look at it. For those things that need to be noticed i make sure they vibrate and pop up on my watch. Still not a sound to be heard.
friend_of_satan 8 points 2 years ago
All my coworkers. Full volume.
higgsboson 7 points 2 years ago
This comes up every once in a while. Apparently there are a surprising number of people on Lemmy who are still commited to using audible notifications.
starlinguk 2 points 2 years ago
There are a surprising number of people who have notifications on for stuff that needs to mind its own business.
RisingSwell 1 point 2 years ago
Discord is the only thing muted for me, but I get so few notifications anyway it doesn't matter.
Fredthefishlord 2 points 2 years ago
Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there's an emergency call from work or a friend
starlinguk 0 points 2 years ago
Me. I work freelance. I can't afford to miss an email.
The trick is only to have important inbox notifications on and no notifications for any other apps. Then you don't need to put your phone on silent.
callouscomic 21 points 2 years ago
My phones have been silent forever. I hate all notification sounds.
DenSortePingvin 18 points 2 years ago
Unless grinder got a custom notification sound, saying something like "Im gonna prone bone til you gone" i would probably write it off as some message notification
_druid 16 points 2 years ago
No volume, vibrate, led, or push notifications. If you want my attention badly enough, call. And I will screen the call and text you back at my convenience. I will not be on a leash. Now excuse me while I doomscroll for 2 to 17 hours.
jonathan7luke 6 points 2 years ago
This made me look it up as well, and I cannot express how disappointed I am that it isn't a grinding sound.
BullishUtensil 13 points 2 years ago
You assume I'm ever "about in public"?
i2ndshenanigans 10 points 2 years ago
I have no idea what it sounds like but I figured it’s because everyone keeps their phones muted. I know I do.
slaneesh_is_right 9 points 2 years ago
I don't know what any notifications sound like
InfiniteHench 8 points 2 years ago
No because I’m not obsessed with how other people spend their time
TriflingToad 7 points 2 years ago
for context, this is what it sounds like:

I thought it sounded like an impression of someone doing the notification sound in a song lol
CaptPretentious 4 points 2 years ago
I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.
carl_dungeon 6 points 2 years ago
No- is it like a grunt?
bluegreenwookie 4 points 2 years ago
Not straight but asexual and i have no idea
TheReturnOfPEB 2 points 2 years ago
when i see someone swiping on tinder and then they phone made that grindr
captainlezbian 1 point 2 years ago
Dude, lesbians don't either. You're safe. Though i imagine some straight women in poly relationships with bi men may recognize it
callouscomic 1 point 2 years ago
If only fucking streaming apps would get rid of their fucking boot-up intro noises. Fuck all of them that do that.
