Sounds & Ringtones
Manage system sounds and notifications
You can turn system sounds, such as transition sounds and notification
alerts, on or off. You can also set the volume for system sounds.
Sliding the ringer switch off not only turns off the ringer for incoming phone
calls, it also turns off system sounds like the shutter click when you take a
picture. The ringer switch does not affect music and video sound. By default,
when the ringer switch is off, you can still hear the Clock alarm. If you want
to change this setting so that turning off the ringer switch also turns off the
Clock alarm sound, go to Clock > Preferences. Under Ringer Switch Off,
change Play alarm anyway to No.
