Fortunately, now you can.
New as SteampatchAs part of , Valve introduced a way to toggle non-critical notification sounds on/off, which means you can disable update sounds so they don’t disrupt your immersion or workflow in the future.
The update also fixes sound issues with screenshots, changes the layout of the notifications page, fixes the Windows overlay for some games, and even addresses a news event Steam Deck that was blocking mouse and touch input.
