Turn off mute sound on iPhone

You're welcome. I suspect Apple won't change this however, People will be muting their phones without any audible sound and complaining that they keep making changes they weren't aware of.

But, by all means, definitely let Apple know your thoughts.

This “feature” is Toobin-proof, suspect that is why it is mandatory, way for Apple to CYA when conference calls are unintentionally off mute. Apple can absolve themselves of any liability.

Trust me, I hate the sound as well. This user forum will not force change though. You have to submit a formal complaint. Please see earlier posts.

This stupid bug is causing safety issues and security concerns.

When you put your phone on silent, that means no noise should be created.

This poor setting is very harmful in some circumstances

FIX IT ASAP. DO not make stupid changes please

Just who do you think you are talking to here? Apple? You are NOT. This is a user to user only forum. We don't work for Apple, so demanding anything be fixed here is pointless. Apple doesn't read these user forums for feedback.

Provide feedback to Apple via this link --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/

There is no point in complaining here because you are complaining to other users that share the same views, that we hate the sound as well.

It's super annoying and I'd love to know why Apple decided to add yet another user-unfriendly feature, but when I tested for myself, using another phone on speaker, the pinging off/on mute sound doesn't seem to go through to the other party, much like you can listen to music or watch a video and the other person can't hear it, only you. Let us know if you have a different experience.

I guess you didn't bother to read past the very first post? If you had, you'd see you're not speaking with Apple and this is a user to user only forum. As users, no one here can turn on or off anything. There is a feedback link posted multiple times in this thread. Find it and provide feedback to Apple.

Yesss Just today it happened again and I was on speaker, it’s just the worst! Please fix it back to the way it was. There’s no reason for a sound on a silencer

Have you told Apple what you'd like to see? They don't read these forums for suggestions.

This was not helpful, so how do I turn this off? I have all sounds turned of and the mute button keeps making sounds when I’m on a call.

I tested it with a few people and they couldn’t hear the sound. It’s still annoying though.

I called Apple and they saw an open case for this “feature” on 10/7/2021. The best advice he had was to make this problem go viral.

Go to Sounds& Haptics, either turn off 'change with buttons' or turn off 'text tone' by selecting 'none'.

Agree with everyone else here… please remove this horribly annoying sound as soon as possible! I completely hate it when on conference calls (or any call for that matter!). Why can’t we at least have the option to turn this off?!

Yea, clearly they tested the wrong market for this “feature.” It is not that hard to be aware of muting and un-muting yourself, but hearing a loud noise every time is very frustrating. Apple this is an issue, we need it solved now!

Is there any way to reverse the iOS upgrade? I doubt they have any urgency to make changes to this feature since it was put in place on purpose. We have to prove to Apple that they demonstrated poor judgment in their decision based on our volume of complaints.

Thank you for your information. I didn't know this wasn't seen by Apple. But I did call Apple and I will push further with being a customer that dislikes the mute noise. You're the best for letting us know. Have a great weekend.
