Anyone know how to turn off the sound in g-mail without turning off the sound of the whole tablet? I thought using this guy would be just like using my android phone but it has proven to be worlds different so far - most notably struggling without a universal settings type of option.

Actually I figured it out - it's still in settings in the actual g-mail app, you just have to click on youremail@gmail.com to get into those settings and it's all there

Are you talking about the keyboard clicks or another sound?

If it's like other Android devices it uses the Notification sound which is a global sound used for all notifications, but in Jellybean they added the ability to disable the notification by app which should be nice.
To set this go into your Settings > Apps > side to All > and tap Gmail. Now uncheck "Show Notifications" . You won't get any notifications or sounds when a new email arrives, so that may be less than ideal -- but this will stop the sound from appearing.
One quicker way to set it is also to long press on the app in the Notification window, if a notification exists, and it'll bring you the settings page as well to disable the Notifications.
Hope this helps --
