Is the “Click!” Sound Meaningless? Smartphone “Shutter Sounds” Don’t Reflect Reality, Online Voices Call for Reconsideration



The smartphone camera is one of the tools we use daily. Have you ever experienced an awkward moment, drawing everyone’s attention with a loud electronic “click” sound when trying to take a photo in a quiet restaurant, a museum, or of a sleeping child or pet?

Currently, there’s a strong voice spreading on social media, particularly on “X (formerly Twitter),” calling for a review of the self-imposed regulation that forces smartphone camera shutter sounds. Why has this peculiar specification, unusual even on a global scale, become established in Japan, and why is it being strongly criticized now?

It’s stupid.

5: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:01:25.04 ID:uNvHIE2m0
It should be a big voice saying “Now shooting!”

7: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:02:35.73 ID:hOEPfyBY0
People who take sneaky photos will just record video, won’t they?

3: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:00:41.23 ID:rkp02RMm0
Just don’t take pictures.

8: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:02:36.84 ID:s5ufekzr0
On the other hand, recording phone calls is legal in Japan but illegal overseas, isn’t it?

10: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:02:40.08 ID:uoj+gIRC0
Is that still the case?

11: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:03:50.83 ID:aLiGevWS0
The shutter sound on smartphones stopped making noise when I went to America recently.

It seems like it automatically rings or stops the sound depending on the region.

111: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 02:02:15.51 ID:0mbLwKuY0
>>11
The sound stops if you change your smartphone’s region.
I’m not taking sneaky photos, but the shutter sound is annoying when taking pictures of food at restaurants, so my phone’s region is set to Taiwan.

15: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:05:03.75 ID:hzUVxxNh0
I use a silent camera app when I’m inside a store.

18: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:06:07.02 ID:mRmMOrSh0
Let’s make it say “Nice!” or “Good, good!”

19: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:07:10.80 ID:20fbBGLs0
Since it’s a measure to prevent piracy only in Japan, let’s change the shutter sound to “panties” instead.

20: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:07:26.95 ID:nZVyattl0
Sneaky photos will probably increase, but it will be the same as overseas, right?

22: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:09:15.59 ID:ApZP0wqb0
It’s because Japanese people love taking sneaky photos up skirts 😉

25: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:09:26.26 ID:971S1vc90
People who take sneaky photos will just modify the firmware or use apps to mute the sound, so what’s the point of the regulation?

30: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:13:33.91 ID:ac4uyzSz0
Will it be gone?
Well, I’m grateful though.

33: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:15:22.76 ID:95mzztgy0
Video doesn’t make a sound, so targeting only still images doesn’t make sense.
If the sound is turned off, I bet more people will get caught for sneaky photography…

63: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:35:20.64 ID:1Et6ni4v0
>>33
Video also makes a sound.

34: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:15:46.85 ID:/emMWJHi0
Please stop making it ring for screenshots too.

38: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:20:28.31 ID:9266U8nn0
Generally, people who take sneaky photos use things like pen cameras, right?

50: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:26:23.09 ID:xtTH92hM0
I’ve heard that the sound isn’t turned off to prevent sneaky photos, though.

61: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:33:22.95 ID:w8a/RUSP0
It must be annoying for people who take a lot of selfies, but I don’t know.

69: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:39:01.57 ID:5xztF6Yz0
The reason people who want to mute the shutter sound usually give is about their sleeping child’s face.
It’s so obvious it’s a lie, lol.

70: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:39:10.14 ID:jL4p1Ckm0
Is that sound really that loud?
Isn’t it that you only hear it that way because you’re doing something suspicious?

72: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:40:25.24 ID:pyWt7YUm0
I want to take pictures secretly.

81: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:42:52.74 ID:ZKI57TXk0
Video doesn’t make a sound, so it’s pointless.

80: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:42:43.49 ID:W6BY9sER0
Some models have an LED inside the lens that flashes when recording video.

84: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:43:51.49 ID:47vxD4QC0
At least make screenshots silent.
I can’t take screenshots if there are people around.

85: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:44:41.23 ID:5xztF6Yz0
It’s fine as it is, that
sound that rings during emergency alerts.

103: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:56:33.23 ID:6wByKxho0
I don’t really care if there’s a sound, though.

104: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 01:56:36.58 ID:psR8Xnb+0
Well, people who take sneaky photos will just mute it, so it’s pointless.

144: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 02:45:32.53 ID:NoBnUX540
It’s noisy when theme parks are full of “click” sounds, but…

147: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 02:53:05.83 ID:roClAEWZ0
“I took it!” is good enough.

148: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 02:53:40.45 ID:tsYZHTJL0
Even without the shutter sound, there’s a weird
camera operation music-like “poko poko” sound.

150: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 02:55:48.42 ID:Mxfv20T20
It’s probably because there are too many sneaky photos in Japan.

166: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 03:23:55.91 ID:/98cGPEi0
“Say cheese!” is more understandable, isn’t it?

173: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 03:35:26.49 ID:YaY7bXpr0
It feels weird if it doesn’t ring.

197: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 04:12:48.25 ID:6Ihrlvdq0
What sound is “kasha” anyway?

251: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/16(Tue) 05:16:19.17 ID:MULf6qAl0
I want to change it to the shutter sound of Utsurun Desu.
