There's an intermediate stage between "no notification" and "urgent notification" -- you can configure notifications from different apps to play different sounds.

Actually, I don't think there is. In my experience, a notification, even if it tells you explicitly "I'm not as urgent as others" for instance by sound, is still a distraction. I found that I feel and work better with having only the most urgent notifications on - even my phone is often left in DnD mode. Notifications degrade quality of life a lot.
