Hey BDG22039, welcome to the Dropbox Community.
In general, users aren't notified upon unsharing a folder or if you change their edit/view-only permissions.
Depending on their notification settings though, they may receive a weekly digest of the activity in shared folders that they are a member of.
You can find more information about desktop/mobile app notifications here, and more about email notifications in this article.
I hope this helps!
