Text Message Send Sound...

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

Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I am ready to throw my phone at the wall I am so frustrated by the annoying whooshing sound it emits after I send a text message. Upon calling Apple Tech Support I learned that there is no control setting to fix or alter the sound made once a text is sent.
I want to individually control what happens when I receive a call, receive a text, and send a text. I have no idea why they are all interconnected. This is a basic phone necessity that has been completely overlooked by Apple.
Those of you who have this same problem I encourage you to post about it so the problem is addressed in the next update. For a short term fix just set the phone to vibrate, you lose the ability to hear calls, but gain sanity that would otherwise be lost putting up with the whoosh sound.

The ability to silently and quickly send a text message is useful in a business meeting as well as for those whose only worry is that their mom might hear them texting after bedtime. Apple gets better because it listens to its customers. I doubt seriously that the corporate heads think of it as whining as much as a "good idea". If this board is monitored regularly or if a substantial number of us have contacted Apple directly, I expect they will fix this issue soon.

I can't believe that on a $600 phone I can't turn the sound for notifying me of sent text messages without turning entire phone on silent. Even my 6 year old LG could do that.


I am new to the apple forum, any advice on where can I make this complaint known to Apple.


And for those stating that we are whining...I don't think everyone within 20 ft of me wants to hear when I send a text message.
