How to show a notification without a sound java

How can I make a notification that doesn't make a sound when I build it? I am building a notification, and my users don't like the fact that it makes a sound.

How can I change it to a silent one / no sound at all?

How I show notification:

android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat.Builder(main);
builder.setStyle(new android.support.v7.app.NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(text));
builder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app);
builder.setContentTitle("Rooster Maandag:");
builder.setOngoing(false);
builder.setAutoCancel(true);
builder.setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL);
builder.setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC);
builder.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT);
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) main.getSystemService(main.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());

I tried to search on google, but the only results I get is HOW to play a sound, not HOW to not play a sound...

Edit It possibly is a duplicate in some people's eyes, but in mine I could not find out an alternative for the there specified default, while this new method is called setDefaults

To disable the sound in OREO 8.1, change the priority of the notification as LOW and it will disable the sound of notification:

NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW

The code is like:

NotificationChannel chan1 = new NotificationChannel("default", "default", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);
