Can we please have an option to turn off club notifications or mute individual client sound effects?

I understand that the new client is still very early in its lifespan, and I by no means wish to appear as if I'm just whining in a non-constructive manner. This is simply a suggestion. I do appreciate the addition to clubs to League and they add a lot of opportunities to converse with many other people with similar interests or even assemble communities such as X Champion Mains. The club system could still be improved in some ways, for example I wish the club member limit was a bit higher, but that's not what I wanted to talk about today.

My main issue with the new client has been how the club notifications work, I think this could be an opportunity to let the players further customize how they wish to be notified and what they feel is the most important. This can of course still be possible in the future, but currently I feel the new client is a bit lacking in that respect.

Club messages have the same sound effect as private messages, meaning that I often find myself thinking someone wrote me a personal message perhaps asking if I want to go for a game but when I open up the client from my task bar it turns out it was a few people having a discussion in one of the clubs I'm a part of. This also means that if a lot of people are talking in the club the repeated chat sound tends to become an annoyance more than a help to me. Even when ingame the chat messages in the clubs are still played unless I set my client to turn itself off during games and that solution adds a bit of time to the statscreen opening up after the game since the client has to load up again and my computer is definitely powerful enough to have it running in the background so it feels like a waste of time for me.

Now I understand that I could simply leave the clubs, issue solved, right? But if possible I would like to simply turn off the notifications for them since I do still value being in the clubs and I find myself conversing with the other members in it. Due to me not wanting to leave the clubs all together I've ended up muting the entire League client so that the club messages no longer play for me, but that also turns off the sound effects for private chat messages, the game found sound effect, pick and ban notifications etc. and champion pick and ban quotes which I am personally a fan of.

My question to Riot is simply this: Would it be possible to give us some sort of option to either turn off club notifications all together; the sound effect and the orange flashing of the League of Legends tab on the taskbar. Or let us mute the club messages/adjust different sound effect volumes and so on like the ingame options let us customize different aspects like ingame music, sound effects, voicelines and even pings.

I don't know if this would take a lot of time to implement, or if it would be a big bother to do so, but if someone from Riot reads this could you please give me some sort of answer? I don't know if I'm alone in thinking it would be a good feature to be added to the client settings, but if others agree perhaps it would be worth the time investment. If you have any plans on overhauling the client settings please let us know, and if it is simply not on the radar at the moment it would be nice to know as well.

I apologise for the somewhat lengthy post, for convenience I'll post summarize.

TL DR; Rito please let us mute different sound effects like club messages.

Thank you in advance! Veigar

You can also just click the exit button on the chat window so you dont get the annoying bloop sound whenever someone puts in a message

individual sound effects can be turned off on the gear in the top left corner of your screen
