The shutter noise will not turn off and I’ve read that it’s because this phone was apparently manufactured in Japan but my question is will the Apple store be able to turn this off since it is still an Apple product?
iPhone X, iOS 13
No they will not. Devices manufactured with the intended market of retail distribution being Japan, S. Korea or any other country with laws requiring that imported digital cameras be made to permanently make the shutter sound, cannot ever have the shutter sound disabled.
So when Foxconn in China makes a run of iPhones, intended for shipment to Apple and Apple Authorized sellers in Japan, that run of iPhones is made with the shutter sound permanently set to “on”. It does not matter where those devices end up getting resold later as used devices, the shutter sound cannot be disabled, as was required by law for importation into Japan for original retail sale there.

No, except by replacing the iPhone. This is controlled by an internal configuration file and can't be changed in the store.
