Camera shutter sound

My phone is on silent and the sound is all the way off but if I take a photo the camera shutter sound is still obnoxiously loud. I have live photo turned on and it still makes a loud PING sound after it takes the photo (basically I've done everything that the internet told me would make the camera sound silent). I live in Germany and its not illegal to have the shutter sound go silent (I had an iPhone 8 that never made a sound, and I asked three of my friends if their iPhones make a loud shutter sound and they said no, not if its on silent). What is going on and how do I get rid of this annoying sound?

iPhone XS, iOS 14

It doesn't matter where you live.

It depends on the iPhone you have.

If you (for example) have one that is made for the Japanese or Korean market you can't turn the shutter sound off.

Check the Model number of the iPhone.
