Text tone swoosh?

How do you disable the swooooooshhh sound when sending a text. It is sooooo annoying and was never there before. After 4.2 update I can not get it to go away,

Not sure why people keep saying this but it is WRONG.

It may have been always there for you, but it has NOT always been there for everyone. It really is as simple as that. I have a 3GS and I never had the swoosh sound until the update in question.

I don't care how many people come on here and claim I am wrong and it's always been there - this is INCORRECT. Just because it's always been there for you, doesn't mean you can say this is the case for everyone with an iPhone. It's nonsense.


This has become more of an issue than the actual noise!!

I just updated to 4.3.5 on my ip 3gs this weekend and have the same problem now, my phone makes annoying tones when I send texts. I can only mute by turning down volume or go to vibrate.


My phone never made tones on texting since I bought it a year ago. Really HATE this and I have posted on that feedback link on this thread as well.

Yeah, I have the same problem. Until last night I had no noise the only annoying noise I couldn't shut down was the camara now I have a stupid swoosh noise but I upgraded my software last night. Those of you that have always had the noise did you upgrade to the latest version as soon as you got your phone? As that might explain it. Mine has been running out of the box software for a year with no noise till I upgraded. I have read if you jailbreak and then use the phone like a hard drive you can find the file and deleate it or change its name to silence the camara shutter which I have been trying to do for a while so I guess the same would work for the message swoosh

I can't even believe how idiotic it is that this is not a preference. It is an incredibly irritating noise. I have the option of constantly toggling to silent or being about to have a stroke with that nasty *** noise every time I send a text... Outrageously ridiculous. How it could be forgotten is incredible. The apple software is always such ****. Going to have to crack it I guess.
