With iOS, you can go into the general iPhone/iPad settings, and scroll down to the Arlo app.  Select notifications, and you'll see an option to turn off notification sounds.

 

You should be able to do something similar with Android.

I have found on iOS that doing your suggestion also stops the geofencing location notifications although they are still saying enabled.

 

An alternative might be to setup a custom mode similar to the armed mode with notifications disabled in the camera rules.

At least you will still get the geofencing and battery warning notifications.

That works if @Ngvet doesn't want to see the motion notifications at all.  But not if he simply wants the sound turned off.

 

Another alternative is to switch to email notifications in the modes, and turn off email sound.

Perhaps better yet, reposition the camera to view only the needed area (eliminate the street, sidewalks, etc.) and/or turn the motion sensitivity down in modes and rules.
