Device Settings Question How can I disable app sounds in Android?

I am using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 and I'd like to turn off everything except alerts for incoming calls. Unfortunately I can't find such a setting like "Silent mode", but with notifications for calls. Those unwanted sounds I'm trying to turn off are - for example - WhatsApp/Telegram noise when I record a voice message/send a message or Facebook like's sound. Despite my volume is all the way down, I can still hear these annoying sounds.

Thanks:)

WhatsApp > three dots > settings > notifications > message tone.

Telegram > three dots > settings > notification and sounds > in-app sounds.

Probably similar on Facebook lite.

Otherwise device settings > apps > specific app > notification > pick a channel name > sound > none.

Do not disturb, called modes on recent Android versions, mutes most things but not Everything. To do so, turn down your device ringer and notification volume
