can you turn off the sound that the camera makes? not the recorded sound, I mean startup, shutdown, beeps etc.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off

I have issues with the sound as well. I can hear but it is noise more than the real environment around the area. Anyway you have three bottoms one is for unlock the sound to hear other to talk and the last one for mute this three work separates so try again pushing one at yhe time and check if that issie continue return the camera I have another camera and I dont have this issue. I keep this because I can control the rotation.

The other reviews are misleading. Yes, it does initially beep, both when scrolling through menus and when recording and stopping the recording. However, I found this tedious; if they bother you, too, you can quickly disable all sounds in the main menu. An orange light still flashes while recording, so found the beeping unnecessary.

I hear a hammering sound when I record video as well...that's a real drag because the video itself looks great. What have people done about this?

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

You have the option of turning the audio off or on in the setup. It does a very good job at night the best of all I have tried. This is the best dash cam overall that I have tried (tried 4 others)can't beat it for the price.

Hi Jame's Dad, Thank you for your inquiries! Recording Sound, or Not On the Dash Cam menu, you do have the option to have the microphone on or off. Just press the "Menu" button. Use the arrow buttons to move the selection up or down until to find "Audio Record". Press the "OK" button on the top of the camera to select "Audio Record". Use the arrows again to select on or off. and press the "OK" button. when done, press "Menu" to get back to the main screen. There is a Microphone image that will appear when sound recording is on. It will disappear when sound recording is off. Sound & Volume The best sound from the videos you record will be heard in playback mode on your computer where external settings can be altered. When playing the video back on the cam itself, there is a limited amount of volume the unit will be able to play back, but it should be relatively comparable to the unit you have received. Loop Recording with this model Dash Cam A 32GB SD card will record up to 6 hours of continuous footage (depending upon use). It saves the files in 2 minutes intervals, continually dropping the oldest footage. The camera also has a g-sensor and a panic button -- when pressed/activated the camera will lock the current video for one minute before and after -- these videos can only be deleted by formatting the SD card. Upon playback on your computer you can save the videos in 2 minute increments or as one full video (up to 2GB each). "Auto-Off" If turned on and plugged in while the car is off, the cam could pull from the car's battery. This depends on your car. Some cars will shut off power to these outlets while others will not. The camera normally will shut off automatically when the car is turned off. I hope that information is helpful. Thanks again for contacting us!

You can right click your sound, &gt; Recording devices then right click the "USB MIC" and click disable. Also make sure to plug it in the back of ur pc or the person you're in a call with will hear beeping.

Hi Elizabeth.... One of the things I like most about this camera is that it is very easy to change settings. For me, the menus are very intuitive and that would include the menu for turning off the focus beep. When you go into the settings menu, go to "D" and scroll to the last screen of D and you will find the sound on focusing setting. Set to "off" and you are good to go.

Yes, it shuts off the camera's onboard mic. If you want it separate, you can record the audio on a separate device, which makes the audio much easier to sync in pro production.

Hi Giorgi, sorry to hear this. This camera has a built in speaker that when playing back recorded videos, sound should come out. -Vincent

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

Yes...I'm hearing a "beeping" electronic sound too. I actually returned my frist Flip due to software errors and also this noise problem. I just got a new one in the mail and it's making the noise too. Not as loud as the other one, but it's still there....and very annoying! If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please reply. Thanks!!!!

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.
