Text Message Send Sound...

Is it just me or is the send text message (woop) sound gone?

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I had an iPhone 4 for 2 weeks, and it did not make any sound when sending a text. It only alerted me to incoming texts. Yesterday I got the phone replaced at Apple because of a major error it was having. This new phone DOES make a 'whoop' sound every time I send a text message and I hate it! If anybody knows how to change it or disable it that would be super helpful.

Turning the phone on silent with the switch on the side is not an option. I don't want my phone on silent, I want to hear it ring and hear incoming text messages but I DON'T need to hear a 'WHOOP' to alert me that a text actually sent.

I have read some posts about finding a file deep within the phone and replacing it, I will be looking into that later after work but if there was just a setting for this outgoing text message sound that I haven't found that would be way easier.

Alright guys i figured this out after going to my local apple store and asking. In settings > messages flip the switch to turn off MMS messaging. This somehow resets and turns off the whoop sound when a message is sent. Exit settings and send a test text message to make sure there is no sound when sent. You can then turn the same switch back on and there will be no whoop sound. Doesnt seem like it should work that way but i have been sending silent texts for weeks now!
