I have 2 brand new, less than one day old, that both exhibit the same symptom. That is when taking a photo they make no sound when pushing on the button. This is the same whether using the phone button or the volume button. If I push very hard on the phone button it will make faint sounds while taking lots of photos. Apple Care wants me to erase the entire phone and start over. Any ideas?
iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.4)
Are you taking Live Photos? If so, there won't be a shutter sound.
If you are taking normal, portrait, or square photos, you should have a sound. Is your volume turned up? Are you certain the Mute switch (on the left side of the device) isn't turned on?

See this support article to get clarification on Live Photos. It's a pretty cool feature:

Thanks very much!
Thank you very much. You hit the nail on the head! While waiting for someone to respond I found the live button on and when I took it off the sound was there. I don't even know what the live button is for.
You are most welcome 🙂!
Here is a link for the Apple Support manuals. You can either go to a weblink, or download the iOS 12 User Manual (for iPhone or iPad) to your iBooks app. Pretty much every thing you would want to know about the iPhone, its functions, apps, etc. is in there:
