KB35793-No notification tone for a new BBM message if the chat for the message is in the foreground
The KB does say that they're working on it. But, as an BB 10 and iPhone user, I haven't found it to be an issue. On the iPhone, I typically minimize BBM when I'm not using it -- the same as I do for any app on the iPhone. I'm not saying its an issue, just that it seems to be a minor one to me.
Why do you need to hear a notification for something in the foreground that your looking at?
BBM has been this way for yyears hasn't it? To keep hearing dings is annoying

It would drive me insane if it kept dinging while I had the app open.
Right!! Not to mention I'd feel like a tool while in a group or in a public place
Notifications not going off when the chat is open is a feature not a short coming

Mine does make the sound when on the foreground. I have this issue with WhatsApp. Check all your BBM notifications settings. It should make the sound.
To those who don't want the sound and think it's redundant, there are some of us who don't look at their phone 24/7. I'm more like 23/7. I need the sound for the 1/7 where I have a chat open while not looking at the phone.
It's a really nice feature to have.
