I have almost no audible notifications and when i switched years ago it was a huge improvement to my stress levels! That said, notifications need to be a lot more sophisticated before they aren't just pointless noise. Currently it's like they're at iteration two or three and they need to be refined loads more. Smarter ways to carve them up are needed with sensible defaults. The big challenge though, as others highlight, is the conflict of interest developers have vs users. My preference for many would be to only notify on a surprising change. Getting a computer to know what is/isn't surprising can be awkward in some cases, but with things like the weather, it's obvious: if tomorrow is +/- 5° different to today tell me, if it's dramatically different weather tell me (eg clear going to major rain) but otherwise why would i need to be prompted for weather when i can go look it up if i happen to have special reason to want to know the forecast.
