A great concept to turn off the camera sound on the Galaxy Note 5 that doesn’t work is to plug headphones in to the smartphone. In most cases when you plug headphones in, all sounds from the device will play through the headphones instead of from the smartphone. But with the Note 5 this will not work, as the smartphone separates media audio from notification sounds, so the sound will still play from the speakers as normal.

Use a third party camera app

An alternative method to turn off the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 camera sound is by using a third party camera app. The reason for this is because the stock Android camera app plays a shutter sound when you take a picture, but not all camera apps do this. You can search for different apps on the Google Play Store and test the camera apps to see which app doesn’t make a camera noise on your Galaxy Note 5.
