    Has anyone been able to find where the camera sound file is located. I would like to exchange it with one of the nice email notifier clicks, as the camera sound it just not pleasant... although I would like some sound to validate when a picture is taken. Perhaps I will make my own sound file... will share. Any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Thor

    Interesting, I remember reading about a law in the US that requires cell phone cameras to make an audible noise. I wonder what would prevent someone from deleting this file or replacing it with a "silent" wav file and circumventing this restriction?

    Something tells me nothing is going to keep people from doing that. Is it really a law though? I didn't think it was really that formal but I guess every device I've used in the past 2 years or so have a camera noise. I personally find it annoying. Not so much from a wanting to be a pervert standpoint but say at a recital/concert or quiet event where you want to take a picture the sound is extremely obnoxious. It's these events where I prefer a quiet no noise phone camera over my SLR which sounds like a machine gun is going off.

    Really? when the phone is in silent profile it doesn't make the shutter sound... so much for that law.

    Are you sure it's the US? If so it might be a state specific law and not Federal. If so the law is pointless since states can't really enforce companies to do so if the companies aren't located in the state. They could try to block sales of devices that don't follow the law but then people would just cross the state border, buy it. And bring it back, just like how people get around the banning of violent games.

    Though I do think that law exists in Japan.

    Yeah might be Japan because of all the upskirt pervs.

    As usual a law passed as knee jerk reaction to an issue.

    There was a bill that was introduced at the beginning of the year in the U.S. House. But to my knowledge it didn't any traction. I don't think it even got any cosponsors.
