I don't know if there's some way to override/customise the notification sounds on Android on per-app basis. At one point in history I wanted Twitter to go [random bird noises] and Reddit to go "Le." but since I don't use either of them anymore I really didn't investigate this further.
In WhatsApp you can set custom notification sounds, I believe it even supports notification sounds on a per-contact basis. So safe to say you can do it as an app developer.
I used to use custom sounds I downloaded for a few people and it was useful, but it's clunky and time-consuming to set up for even a few contacts. I had to get the sounds on a PC because all the sound apps on the store feel like malware and are riddled with ads.
I think there is an option but it might be dependent on which company makes your phone.
It's actually really easy for a developer and for a user. Apps can provide a notification sound for themselves, but the Android API automatically creates a user interface inside of the notifications settings that let a user set a sound of their choice on a per-notification-channel (for example, Discord has separate channels for "Incoming calls", "Direct messages", "Friend requests", and a heap more) basis.
