Question

S7 - Disable ready tone when mic icon is pressed

Sep 25, 2017 11:33PM PDT

After using my Galaxy S7 Edge for about a year, the ready tone heard when the microphone icon is pressed stopped working. I would have to watch for the "Listening..." prompt.

Initially, I was disturbed by this. But, when the tones recently returned, I found that I preferred the silent operation. I feel no need to notify everyone within hearing range that I am looking up something on my phone.

Is there any way that I can turn those tones off without otherwise affecting my volume settings?
