I can't work out how to turn off the camera shutter sound. On my old One X I think that when it was on silent mode the camera shutter sound didn't go off, but in this phone even on silent it does and I can't find any option to turn it off. Does anybody know if it's possible?

It goes off for me when I'm in silent. Don't see why it wouldnt work the same for you. You sure it's on silent?

In camera, tap menu (3 dot icon), go to "Shutter options" (towards the bottom) > Shutter sound > un-tick.
The shutter sound is a legal requirement in some countries (so you can't take sneaky photos). Some carriers remove the sound option from the camera settings.

Only noticed the OP is an Aussie. Then I confirm this is the case. In Australia, phones MUST have a shutter sound. Silly I know....but Telstra, Optus etc branded phones don't let you remove shutter sound. This is for most of their phones.
I'm in Australia on Optus and can confirm that in silent mode the shutter does not make a noise. My phone is stock, unrooted and obtained from Optus.
Furthermore I have also unticked the 'shutter sound on ' in the settings as it has been suggested already and that works also, no sound from the camera when the volume is on.

Yeah I thought this might have been the case. I have a Telstra One.. it's strange that the Optus version doesn't have it but Telstra does. Oh well just giving me more reason to root.
Under shutter options for me the only setting is touch to capture :/

Also on Telstra.
One XL on Telstra had shutter sound with ICS. After the OTA JB update, camera had no shutter sound in silent mode, without changing any settings.
One on Telstra definitely has shutter sound on all sound 'profiles', and the shutter sound option has been removed.
Maybe we'll be lucky and receive the silent shutter when we get the KLP update

ATT allows for shutter sound to be turned off.
This may well be ROM dependent, but I'm using TrickDroid 5.2.1 and when I put my phone on silent (toggle the sound through EQS) I get no shutter sound.

Is there a way to remove the shutter sound the camera makes when taking photos or video regardless of the rom? Can I just use root explorer and find the audio files and delete them? If this is possible, where are the audio files and what are their names?
There was a modified camera.apk posted, but it didn't work with latest firmware so I didn't really used it.
Most of the camera sounds are files located at /system/media/audio/ui.
However, the shutter sound in embedded in the camera.apk itself. Maybe it can be done using and apk editor, but I'm no programmer, so I have no clue to get it working.
Please follow the steps to disable it!
1. Please make sure the Galaxy Note is rooted.
2. Use root explorer(or any other similar apps like it).
3. Start the Root Explorer and browse the file “/system/media/audio/ui”
4. Click on the “Mount Button” in Root Explorer.
5. Rename “Shutter_01.ogg” to “Shutter_01.ogg.off” or Shutter_01.ogg.backup
6. Say goodbye to the camera shutter sound
keep device in silent mode..
ranjan.alva: Camera still use sound in silent mode.
I did the same thing like "neworder76" and this works!

Which Firmware u using?? i think you need to update your device to new Firmware.
This may be a later answer but here:
The camera shutter sound's volume is controlled by the MEDIA VOLUME.
The reason why it still goes off when you set the phone to silent mode is that Silent Mode only sets Notification and Ringer volume to 0, not media volume.
You'll have to adjust media volume in the settings yourself, as it stays up even in silent mode. If you're unsure, media volume is the volume for games or apps.
It's illegal to silence the camera shutter sound in some countries. Be wary of this.

LOL.
I know one: Japan! Can't silence the cameras on DSIs or 3DSs. =)) Never occurred to me that the people in this thread could be attempting that for `illegal` reasons.
Just so I can get out of any potential legal mess, I just discovered this while messing with my phone. I was actually looking for the sound.

That's so weird; none of the cameras I've owned have made any sound (they've been practically silent), but every phone I've owned has had a loud, artificial camera shutter sound. Do other countries require normally quiet cameras to add an artificial sound when taking pics?

It has to do something with preventing stalking and secretly taking photos.
All I have to do is turn the Volume down to nothing before I launch the camera app... I haven't done anything to mod it either, it's pretty much stock.
no camera artificial shutter sounds for me if the phone is on silent, and i am on an unrooted phone on 2.3.6. and no need for me to turn the media volume down. am i the only one?
Kind of reminds me back during "the space race"....NASA was all proud of itself
after spending (probably) millions of dollars to develop an ink pen that would write in zero gravity. Reporters asked a (then) Soviet (don't remember if it was an engineer or who) what they thought of this brilliant achievement by the Americans to develop an INK pen that works in zero gravity. The Soviet just shrugged and said...so, we just use pencil.
Same here...a somewhat simple idea of silencing the camera sound doesn't need to have a hack for the software, just turn down the speaker before launching the camera....BRILLIANT!
Confirmed. No camera sound with media volume 0. I'm using rooted stock ROM 2.3.6 KL3.
Thanks muchly for the tip!!!

Apple should be sued into oblivion then...switching the silent makes the camera silent worldwide.
Who cares anyway? If you are a creep trying to snap a shot of some chick's ass you will get caught eventually. Wish you luck with that.

AFAIK you can only do it by rooting (and why wouldn't you want to?), and delete /system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg or add in a quieter, less obnoxious sound.
I am running LB1 PowerTweaked, which thankfully has a quieter AutoFocus sound, because that is the one Camera sound that is not in the /system/media/audio/ui directory. I renamed Shutter_01.ogg to Shutter_01.ogg.bak, and did the same to Cam_Start.ogg and Cam_Stop.ogg. Blissful quiet!
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
thanks! it seems that the only way is to root....
sorry for positing in the wrong forum.
The manual workaround method for the odd shots you need stealth for would be to switch the Note to silent mode before using the camera.

That's a shame
There might be differences in firmware versions as although I do have root access, I'm using stock LB1 firmware released for Germany (one of the latest official firmwares). Turning my sound mode to silent completely switches off all the camera sounds, even the autofocus sound.

Check on Settings/Calls and see if there is a hearing aid option. If it is there, make sure it is unchecked. This setting will make earpiece calls sound very loud, almost like it was on speakerphone, and when it is on, lowering the volume has little or no effect.
I found that the hearing aid is on...but there is no way to uncheck it. The option is gone

Same issue with theVolume always 100%
I have looked under every setting I could and nothing works. When I make or receivea call my ear volume is100%so I turn it down. Next call its back up. Itwill not stay low. Ive tried 4-5 volume controlers, some with locks. Really frustrating, all is stock. Any ideas???

During the installation process of Holics did you elect to install Sony's xLOUD Audio, by chance? I believe it is automatic unless you uncheck it. I'm guessing this is your problem. I have Holics on my Vivid (with Sony's xLOUD Audio) and I love the louder speakers. If you just don't like the volume during calls you could always use an app like Tasker to set the volume lower automatically when you answer a call.
Hello,
Do you hear a "popping sound" everytime you close an app or hit the homescreen button ?
Its a 2 time pop i hear , mainly when i use faceboook, viber , etc...
Is this normal ?

Do you use any type of equalizers/DSPs? the main cause for popping sounds is that the speaker is making too much vibrations. When you use a DSP, the increases the vibrations and when audio stops, the DAC will mute it, causing all vibrations to stop at once. The more vibrations, the louder the popping sound will be when the DAC mutes it.
If you don't use any DSPs, just disable the touch sound effect by going into Settings > Sound > (untick) Touch Sounds
If you get popping sounds on stock audio with or without Beats Audio enabled (Or when you are listening to music, playing games etc), it's best you get it checked out by someone because the pop sound is not noticeable with Stock or Beats Audio.
When I refresh email or similar, the refresh sound is followed by a pop after the refresh has finished. It's like the end of a sound file as you can hear white noise in between the refresh and the pop

Then something's really wrong here. You are on stock rom right? If so, I suggest you contact wherever you got the device from and see if they can do anything about it.
This pop sound is normal when using DSPs on speakers but it's not normal when you have it with all audio effects turned off...

Come to think of it, my old one x+ popped just looking at the home screen. Also you could hear the camera chugging away like it was taking pictures randomly. The ONE does this sometimes. Sneaky apps I suspect, using recording and picture taking to spy ??
