Disabling annoying sound effect?

[dobbs333]

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, but is it possible to disable the annoying sound effect that plays when you go past a mobile speed camera location?

As it's not a good idea to be using any device while driving, why does Camera Alert come up with the tick/cross when going past a mobile speed camera location anyway?

Otherwise it's a v.good system.

Thanks in advance,

Dobbs.

PS - this is on a Sony Arc S smart phone if that makes any difference and I've had a quick look for possible sfx's but can't find any in the CA default location...

Hi dobbs,

You should be able to silence / change the sounds and warnings in the 'settings' of CA app.
Click on the settings from the menu and the very first option on mine is a tick box to turn on/off a sound warning. The ones below are to fine tune them.

I'm on a Galaxy S3, should be the same on your phone though.

Experimented with my settings today to try to find an answer. As 253 says, if you un-check the "sound warnings" in settings the sound effect stops. Unfortunately, it is an All-or-Nothing setting, so you'll get no warnings at all, not even the ones on approach.

This is on the to-do list for the next version. You will be able to select the sound for the mobile button enable-ma-thingie, including the aptly named sound "Silence"
