Hmm, mine's set to Glass, but I've unchecked Notifications on that 
screen.

To avoid disturbing my neighbours (and of course my own peace and quiet) 
I have all OS X alerts disabled via System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound 
Effects. Alert Volume slider all the way to the left and the 2 
checkboxes beneath unchecked.

Is this suitable for you?
