I am not happy with the changes to the Memory feature either. It is embarrassing, when we accidentally open a memory in photos and the iPhone is starting to play some music, while we are not alone. We should be give an opportunity to turn off the sound, before the memory starts playing.

Which system version is installed on your iPhone? Since iOS 15 it is no longer possible to remove the background music for a memory completely. You can just try to select the least annoying song or turn the volume down, before you play the Memory.

And we cannot disable the creation of Memories. We just can limit it a bit by using the option "Show less" from the (...) menu in the upper right corner of the keyframe of a memory.
