Can't turn off sound notifications on bluetooth headphones... HELP!!

[Android Central Question]

When using my Sony XM2s, with phone on silent or vibrate, I still get sound notifications through the headset and cannot find a way to turn it off. I've tried downloading Sound Assistant, but that didn't work. I tried turning off headphone notifications in the general settings. Nothing is working and I'm going to scream. How can it be so hard? Please help!!!

Damn, sorry for missing out that crucial piece of information.

It's a Samsung S9+.

I believe, although I am not sure, that I read somewhere that the notification sounds coming through head phones is a 'feature' of Android Pie

I think I've been getting notifications through headphones since before Pie. They're considered "media audio", same as music or podcasts.
