Mute Dictation Start and Stop Tone on iPhone?

This has been driving me bonkers also.

I just googled elsewhere and found the solution: hit the dictation button, and when it pops up, turn the volume all the way down. Somehow it's a separate function from the rest of the phone.

PHEW!

Yes, it's true that you can turn down the volume for voice dictation separately, but remember that this applies to all voice activated features, including Siri. So next time you activate Siri, you won't be able to hear her.

This essentially means you have to maintain two separate volume settings-- one for your phone at large, and one for voice activated features.

It would be nice if either the keyboard mic tone could be independently deactivated (without silencing Siri) or there were a setting that allowed keyboard-activated tones to be subject to the mute button.

now 2016, iPhone 6, your solution still works

thanks a bunch

2017 and his solution still works on iPhone 7s Plus. Talk about embarrassing in a meeting...

Yep. March 8, 2017... iPhone 7. Still works... Thanks!

Thank you! Just got my iPhone 7. That was driving me crazy !!

Settings > accessibility > speech > typing feedback > speak words / speak auto text

Totally fixed the problem I was having where I actually wanted the tone to sound when I ena dictation and somehow had lost that tone. Performing the steps above fix my problem. Brilliant find !
