The completely non-scientific way of muting the sound, is just getting used to holding your finger over the tiny speaker hole, which pretty much mutes the sound completely.

Guessing the phone has to be rooted for this to work? I don't have my SGS2 at the moment (it's en route, RMA replacement), but I'll have to check this out. That camera sound is a pain!
Edit: nm, saw the note in the post (just had to read instead of skim lol)

[Q] How do I disable the startup sound?

I needed to reboot my Thunderbolt in a meeting today. However, I forgot to turn my sound off before rebooting.
When the thunderstorm sounded in the meeting it was very disrupting. Yikes!
Howe do I disable the startup sound? I have not rooted my device and don't intend to.
Thanks
I don't think you can if you're not rooted.
The BAMF RC4 ROM has a built in BAMF Toolkit that has this feature. You can also change your boot pictures and animations. You need root for this.
Deleting the sound would prevent it from playing on stock roms. The problem is, I believe the sound is in /system/customize/resource/ which you won't be able to delete without being rooted which you said you have no plans of doing.

Correctamundo!
^ must be rooted.
Not a solution but you could interrupt the meeting and say somethinly biblical and with conivction right before the boot sound to create a theatrical reaction in conjunction to your fellow coworkers presentation.
*lower your chin for the rest of the meeting..

[SOLVED] Disable camera shutter sound

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to disable the camera's shutter sound since it is very annoying.
I looked at /system/build.prop and there is a line that might be helpful: ro.media.capture.shuttertone=0
Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks!
Just delete the cameraclick.ogg from /system/media/ui/

Exact steps over adb shell:
Code:
$ su
# cd /system/media/audio/ui
# /bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
# mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.ogg.bak
# /bin/mount -o remount,ro /system
# exit
Now if only there was a fix for it to only play when the system wasn't muted. But this is good enough for now
If you have root explorer you can just follow my directions above

Well, the easier of the two is to basically combine both ideas. By using Root explorer you can go to that exact location and rename the file with a '.bak' at the end of the file. I did this and it worked like a charm. That way nothing is deleted and a backup is in tact in case you want to change it back.

If you're not rooted, someone made an app that disables system enforced sounds, and released it on the official Moto forums:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/443424#443424
This will mute all sounds that are otherwise unmutable. Off hand, I can't think of any besides the camera shutter, which makes this a pretty good fix.
So here's a really weird situation . . . my loud camera noise went away all by itself - honest!
Before I read very far on the camera shutter issue, I tried the vignette app to see if it would disable the sound. No dice. I uninstalled it. A couple days later I noticed that when taking a photo there was no sound at all.
I have tried to change several settings to make the sound come back (just to figure out where it went), but I can't. I'm not complaining - the sound was terribly annoying! But, I'm a little worried that I can't figure out what happened.
And no, I'm not rooted.

That's interesting because I also tried Vignette a couple of days ago but haven't used the camera since, so I just opened the camera and there's no shutter sound. However, I also found out that my camera button doesn't open the camera anymore. Does your camera button open the camera? This may take a hard reset to fix but boy I want to avoid that if I can.
Yes - my camera button starts the camera app.

Thanks. I rebooted and it's working now.
FYI - You can downlaod an apk to control the camera shutter sound if you go to the 6th reply to this thread at the Motorola Owners' Forum. I installed it and was able to turn my shutter sound back on and then back off again.
Thanks for posting....working well so far. Anyone seen any ill effects?

This app works like a charm too if you're somewhat lazy like myself. haha

There's also a separate sound file associated with the video mode - VideoRecord.ogg. Once it's renamed, the pesky sound is gone.

Root Tools
I found the easiest way too turn off the camera shutter sound is too hip into the Root Tools app hit menu then settings and click where it says "CAMERA SHUTTER SOUND ENABLE/DISABLE"

worked like a charm. Used es file explorer... mounted system as writeable and used su settings.
If you want to add the enable/disable camera option follow the steps in my thread. It will only work if you are rooted though:

[Q] Molten camera sound

I recently got Molten v2.3, and deleted the camera click ogg file, cause I never want it to sound. However, all of my camera apps (two now, used to be three) still have the same sound, and I can't find the sound in any of the system/media folders.
Really want it gone, thanks in advance.
I have looked around a lot too, and can't find something that works.
I should mention that the two apps are stock and camera zoom. Both make same sound which is different then before so I'm assuming its molten related.
More than likely they're embedded in their apk. Do those apps have an option to turn the click off?
Camera ZOOM does, it doesn't work, rooted or unrooted. Unrooted I had been able to use a couple sound managing programs to silence it but that doesn't work now. How would I go about changing the app?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I wish I had a reply for you on that. I know it has to do with unpacking the apk on your computer, making the edit of the file(s), repacking the apk and signing. Check around the site and I'm sure you'll find the answer. Wish I had a better answer for that. Maybe someone else will step in with a better answer than mine.
That's more of an answer than I had, so thanks. Will probably just get a different app lol
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Not that this helps yet but I know I've seen this somewhere end of last year. If I remember I think it was a change to the file that actually made the sound. Racking my brain to remember what it was or the forum I found it in... crap. Ill let you know if I find it.
Edit: system/media/audio/ui
camera_click I renamed to camera_click.bak
I think this is what I used and it worked for me. You're hearing the typical camera shutter sound? If I remember, that camera sound was much simpler, not the traditional shutter, more of a click with that rom. Must be something different.
Running 1.3 eclipse atm.

[Solved] How to disable the "beep" sound when changing Volume?

How do I disable the "beep" sounds when changing the volume using the volume rocker? My device is a rooted Dell Venue 8 3830. I tried to find the ogg file in system/media/audio/ui so I could delete it, but it wasn't there :crying: .

It din't work. No touch sounds, but the beeps still persist. Thanks for the suggestion though.
NP I just searched like crazed man to no avail. Going to try a Trump card and see.
Edit: Nice mystery sound. OK going to go deeper.
Edit 2: It's not .ogg or .mp3 but I think it's somewhere in a file. Like in a jar¿ this is my new ocd issue. I'm going to sleep before I tear apart the whole ROM and break something.
Glad to know you're still looking into it. Right now I'm trying to figure out if messing with the values in the files below will help me. The last two seems to be related to the overall sound quality, volume, sample-rate conversion, routing and stuff like that. But I'm hopeful about the first one though.
/system/etc/parameter-framework/Settings/Audio/AudioConfigurableDomain.xml
/system/etc/asound.conf

Might be able to silence it from the top file. Just skimmed through it. Will look into it in the morning. Long day today and start class's tomorrow for at&t tier 1-2, so I'm getting my season binge finished tonight, the incredible hulk and smash squad! I'm still brushing up on my code but that first file will get a good look early afternoon tomorrow. Left my laptop plug at home today. Feel kind lame for doing that, lol. You're on the right track tho! It's getting annoying when I'm adjusting music volumes. Didn't know it did it there too.
Solution
Finally found an easy solution:
1. Install Xposed Framework, if you already haven't and then install the latest GravityBox[KK].
2. Open Gravity Box, go to "Media Tweaks".
3. Tick the option "Mute Volume Adjust Sound"
4. That's it. [No restart required]
I recently updated GravityBox[KK], and saw this option.
Thanks a lot devs of GravityBox. :highfive:

Camera shutter sound

Hey everyone
I just got this phone and so far it's been cool and good, I really like it despite the display quality being off in perspective to my galaxy s6
Anyways, I digress, in the camera app I can turn the shutter sound off but it seems that any other third party app like Snapchat or Instagram keep this shutter sound
It's really bugging, I need it gone so I don't disturb people around me or something...
Things I've tried:
Screenshot sound off
Camera sound off from camera settings
Phone to silent
Phone to DND
All volume sliders to 0
Nothing works, any idea before I throw root on it and delete some files?
I didn't find anything that'd work.
Decided to unlock and install LOS 16.
All good now, except IR Camera and hotspot.

Hello there, can you point me to the directory for Instagram and Snapchat files? I am currently rooted and would really like to remove the shutter sounds as they are very annoying. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you can delete the file camera_click.ogg from system/media/audio/ui
Make sure to keep a backup first of the file in case something goes wrong.
Additional files related to camera sounds that may need to be deleted to are: camera_focus.ogg, videorecord.ogg, videostop.ogg
