Do Not Disturb doesn't work with 3rd Party Apps

When I turn on Do Not Disturb I still get the sound notification for third part apps, like Slack and WhatsApp. Does anyone else experience this? I remember a time when this wasn't happening, but Apple must have changed the way it works. Is this a bug on Apple side or are Slack, etc... the offenders.

Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Notifications.

Hit the padlock and login as your login and password.

Scroll through each notification App, activate it and uncheck every type of notification that you don't want to receive, then put it under Do not disturb.
