Beep sound when pressing "mute" during a call

Hi guys, how to disable the new beep sound when pressing "mute" / "unmute" button during a phone call (using iPhone 13 Pro, iOS15 and AirPods Pro)?

I just upgraded my iPhone 12 to ios15 and after 2 hours of conference calls (where I need to mute/unmute), I have a horrible headache from having to hear the loud beep in my ears (I wear headphones) every time I need to speak. This is insane. Making such a huge change w/o giving users a way to turn it off is unacceptable. My apple household may be switching to android - it's that bad. I've submitted feedback via the link below. I'm just disbelief that such a ridiculous, obtrusive feature would be released like this. I want to run my iPhone over w my car.

I absolutely agree – a beep sound when muting or unmuting defeats the whole purpose of having a mute. I mute because I am trying to eliminate background noise., and it is annoying and distracting to have a conversation punctuated by dozens of beeps. I also agree that this is bad enough to consider switching to android.

Perhaps you should tell Apple:

It is extremely rude of apple to add a mute/unmute sound. This new setting of ios15 really makes things awkward for me. Immediately update to allow users to turn off the mute/unmute sound. We should have a right to choose.

Have you told Apple how you feel? No one reading here can make the change you'd like to see.

But no, you don't have "right" to anything in Apple's UI choices.
