Anyone know how to disable the camera noises? I tried an app called silent snap but it didnt work? Also anyone got some advise on how to get the best out of the camera - settings that get us better images? For a 5mp camera ive been pretty disappointed with the camera results!
As I know, change your volume to silence , there will be no Camera sounds. Try that.
You can delete or rename the file /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to get rid of the shutter sound...but you'll still get that beep sound when you focus.
So the best solution is probably to use the silent or vibrate profiles.
To silence the camera (including the focus beep!) I use Sound Manager from the Market. I set System Volume to the lowest. All other phone sounds that I care about work fine under this setting. I set it up to schedule zero system volume at 8AM every day. That way if the setting "falls off", it will fix itself regularly.
I bought camera360 pro..and I am happy with it
Attached the sample.. it captured with lomo cyan effect directly from milestone using camera360pro app

I think he's not talking about sounds! He means the "noise" of the picture, like the red pixels in night photos....

I was referring to the camera start and shutter sound. I was also hoping that people might post any settings they use to get the best out of their pictures

Worked for other things on my phone, but didn't not effect the focus beep at all. I have heard it is intentionally built to not be able to be disabled. It's quite loud too. Most be something in the OS or camera operating system that could disable it though.
Androidiani's open recovery has a hack to disable camera shutter sound.

Noise from high ISO shots are usually a problem with the sensor. You can use one of the alternative camera apps out there that might use less compression, but in the end noise from dark photos comes from the fact that this is:
a) a tiny sensor
b) a terrible sensor
c) the camera just isn't built for low light shots.
some software out there like Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture or even Noise Ninja are excellent at noise reduction. That's pretty much all you can do. As a dSLR shooter, I know I have to push ISOs sometimes and just hope for the best....

Why would you want to do this?
So that you can take photos of people without them knowing and without their permission?

Because shutter sound is annoying.
Sorry if my question is dumb, but my phone already has no shutter sound when i turn down the volume. How is this different?

That's turning off of all voice/noise(DND or silent) from your phone while this module selectively disables shutter sounds irrespective of DND or no DND.
Thanks.
Some countries like South Korea make it necessary for phones to make loud shutter sounds, regardless of DND or sound settings. It's quite annoying having to go delete system files every update. Thanks again!
Using rooted N960F right now.
Anyone knows how to mute shutter sound (camera-screenshot) in stock camera? My version doesn't have option to mute the sound in setting
Looking around xda, got several method to do that
1) use good lock's routines or other tasker app - set system vol 0 while on camera
2) delete file in system/media/ui
3) edit csc feature
i have done both 2 and 3 method, doesn't work. if possible i want avoid using tasker app just to mute camera sound (1).
my question is, where is the real location of camera's shutter media file? Is there any other way to mute shutter sound? i have root so any way that work will do
You can use silent mode pro from the store. It will do the job perfectly.

Or just turn down system sounds on the volume slider.
I don't see any mods yet which would remove the camera shutter sound. Also I miss the in-built call recorder option. Can I get them anywhere?

I have no need for a call recorder so I can't help you there but I turn shutter sounds off in camera settings.
You can use Bixby routines to turn off the sound when the camera app is launched. It will disable the shutter sound. When you exit the camera app, the sound will be turned on again.
I guess I'm missing something but why turn off any sounds? Don't all S10 stock cameras have the shutter sound switch in camera settings?

In certain countries laws forbid the shutter sound from being turned off so the phone variants for those countries don't have the option in the camera settings. There are apps that can do it though. My wife has an LG G8 and LG phones don't have a switch to turn it off so she uses No Shutter Sound from the app store and it works great.

Attached is a simple magisk module to disable the camera shutter and screenshot sound.
It replaces camera_click.ogg with a blank file.
Camera shutter and screenshot both use the same sound file; this disables both the camera shutter and screenshot sound.
You can also just turn it off in the camera settings...

But you cannot disable the screenshot sound. This is the reason I created the module.

Mine doesn't make a noise when I have the phone on vibrate or silent. Maybe it's dependent on the carrier model of the phone?
I'm also not trying to downplay your work, I just figured some people won't root, so they might want to know you can disable the sound in the camera settings.

I was told many years ago, that in some regions, by law, cameras should make a sound. Maybe phones in those regions have the option to disable the sound locked out/removed?
Big thank you, mate. Even in India where there is no law prohibiting silent screenshot and silent photography, Google completely removes the option to silence camera shutter sound. No VPN or mock location helps here because this is based on the inserted SIM card.
Earlier, the only option to silence camera shutter was to go to /data/data/com.google.android.GoogleCamera/shared_prefs/com.google.android.GoogleCamera_preferences.xml
then change this value to 0:
<string name="pref_camera_sounds_key">0</string>
<string
But inexplicably, the value would nastily reset to 1 from time to time and you would get a rude sound when expecting a silent camera shot.
Thanks to OP, I just extracted his zip and replaced the original /system/product/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
with OP's camera_click.ogg which in fact can be created easily as a new empty file.
Thanks to OP once again from the world of chains and fetters, gags and censors!

It is in the US as well... Section 3a:
3.
Audible Sound Standard
(a)
Requirement
Beginning 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, any mobile phone containing a digital camera that is manufactured for sale in the United States shall sound a tone or other sound audible within a reasonable radius of the phone whenever a photograph is taken with the camera in such phone. A mobile phone manufactured after such date shall not be equipped with a means of disabling or silencing such tone or sound.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/414
So it is kinda funny we can silence here in the US, but other countries that don't have this law can't.

Interesting. What I did notice it is that you can't control the volume of the shutter audio clip. However, on my old phone Windows 10 Mobile device it would follow the Media volume, and the shutter sound was more of a nice high-resolution dim 'click' sound which sounds as if there is an actual mechanical part in the phone (someone at MS had too much fun perfecting this). Shame you can't configure any of it under Android, at least with the PIxel camera app, I should say.
Can screenshot sounds be disabled through adb commands for non root users?

Bit late here but yes you're right. However sometimes a carrier has to request the function (like samsung in UK) as some networks have the options and others dont. Stupidity at its finest.
Alas! The solution does not work. Today after a long time I opened camera app and the shutter sound WAS there in its full rudeness. The file
/system/product/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
was 0 byte and played no sound.
I had to use the old but temporary method of modifying pref_camera_sounds_key value to 0 then force stopping and restarting camera app.
Has anybody found a better solution yet to silence camera app?
However this method (camera_click.ogg) did silence screenshot which was and is not possible otherwise, as per my little research.

I installed this primarily to disable camera click. However, the camera click sound is still strong like earlier. The screenshot sound is disabled though.
I am on rooted pixel 2 XL android 11 Proton AOSP ROM. Any ideas?
Works perfect for disabling screenshot sound!

In Android 13 running on pixel 4 xl, screenshots can't be saved. This module will cause system UI to crash.

You can use a short sound file to replace the total blank files in this module, it works on Android 13.
