Turn off all clicking with an iPhone 13's telephone number entry pad

I want to turn off the annoying and banal clicking feedback I get when entering a number on the iPhone's telephone number entry pad - this has nothing to do with the "normal" clicks I might get using, for example, the text entry keyboard.


I've got the Setting / Keyboard Clicks turned off, so I don't hear anything with anything else.


Where is the setting for this telephone number entry pad found? Logically, as it's a similar function to keyboard sounds, turning that setting off should've disabled this sound, but it doesn't.


The only way I've found to do this is to set the side sound buttons to zero, which is next to useless because then you can't hear the telephone ringing for incoming calls (unless you then set the side sound button to something audible).

Hello,


Thanks for your reply: tried that (it was already off, so I turned it on and back off).


Did a shut down after turning on and off both Keyboard Clicks and System Haptics - with no change to my problem.


Thanks for your help anyway.


(Interesting comment is that if you key in a number and then press the telephone symbol, the number you've entered will rapid dial. There used to be a security/privacy issue that electronic eavesdropping equipment could pick up and record the dialed number sequence, because each number had it's own sound. Not sure whether that's still a "security/privacy" fear: but you hear the whole number being dailed.)

Yes, technology moves on. Cell phones don't use DTMF tones for dialing.
