Disable push notification sound whenever I want

Is there a way to disable the push notification sound - whenever the alert comes in.

Currently I am using a blank sound file to do this, but is there a way to disable the sound.

Go to the preferences application and select "Notifications", select your app and turn off the sound.

You specify a bitmask of notification types when you register for notifications. If you don't want a sound to be played when notifications come in, remove UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound from that bitmask:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert|UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge)];

If you dont want to play sounds, you can register for remote notifications again for only alert notification type. If you want the sound should not be played on receiving the alert notification, you should not be sending the sound value in the notification payload sent from the notification server.
