Alas I have found the solution. In the Grindr app, go to settings>notifications>notification settings>notification management. Just as the previous post suggested. However, make sure the notification settings is turned ON. Then you can silence each notification sound within the app. If you turn notifications OFF from within the phone settings it only prevents the app from displaying notifications on your phone. It does nothing for the sounds within the app. Grindr should fix that but none the less, it works
