Disable Camera Shutter Sound (Magisk Module)

Disable Camera Sounds

Module description:

This module disables/mutes the camera shutter and video recording sounds by replacing the following .ogg with muted files:

/system/media/audio/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/camera_focus.ogg
/system/media/audio/VideoRecord.ogg
/system/media/audio/VideoStop.ogg

The default camera app still plays the file (a ~1sec file with no sound), but we can't hear the sound.

Compatibility and limitations:

  • It should work on all phones running CyanogenMod, LineageOS, and most stock ROMs with Magisk 16 (or newer) installed.
  • Only works on apps using the default sounds (most default camera apps). Doesn't mute 3rd party camera apps that use their own sounds.
  • Android uses the same sounds for other tasks. For example, camera_click.ogg is also used for screenshots. This means that you'll stop hearing the screenshot sound.

How to install:

  1. Download the Magisk module;
  2. Install using the Magisk Manager app (Module > Add);
  3. Reboot;

Follow the law:

It's not legal to disable the camera shutter sound in some countries. Don't use this module if you live in one of those countries.
