On the board one of the buttons is labeled sound option. Press once it turns the sound off. Press it again to turn the sound back on.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Yes, just turn the volume down to the lowest setting. It's not technically off, but it may as well be.

Thank you! My mom has this camera and has been visiting, taking pics and video of grand kids. The sound that used to be there for playback seemed to have disappeared. Thanks to your tip, we got the sound back and my mom is delighted! We had checked the volume and sound in settings, but you have to complete this step while the video is in playback. This is not mentioned anywhere in the instruction manual.

I too am interested in this feature. I thought I was the only one that thought the dialogue was quiet & the music/effects too loud. This is MOSTLY blamed on poor mixing by whoever was responsible for creating the disk you are watching. I'm also interested in it so the commercials don't SCREAM at me on the rare occasions when I watch live TV.

Yes you can turn the volume all the way down on your video screen so you dont hear the cameras. And i think you can turn each camera off, but you cant turn the sound off on the individual cameras; only on the monitor you use to see/listen.

It has to be in playback mode. Mind you this camera is really horrible quality. I don't usually bash things I buy but this thing was crap. Even my niece who doesnt know much about this stuff thought it was horrible. FYI

Yes! Within the menu settings there is a "Mute" selection of either on or off. When mute is "on" there is absolutely no sound from camera operations.

It is fairly loud... The tv could drown it out if it was turned up a bit. Totally worth it if you can cover up the noise.

I agree with Karin. What I did for the noise Is I either put my headphones in with my iPod or I will out a movie on my kindle fire with my Netflix and use my headphones. Then i can't hear the machine. :-)

You can turn the sub way down in the EQ settings, but I'm not sure if you can turn it off. When you turn down the volume the sub isn't too powerful, depending on what you're watching.

No I am unable to turn the sound off as it is a ticking timer. It's the mechanism itself that makes the noise.

There is a sound, but it may not disrupt a video. It is noticeable, but would not describe it as loud.

Even on asian version you can turn off shutter sound. Just search internet how to enable shutter sound menu.

You have the option to turn the audio on or off. So, you can record video without audio.

http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/t2i-7d-disable-agc-rode-videomic/ Its not the mic ... its the camera. Either use the work around at the above link or http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/zoom-h4n-review/ you have to get a separate audio recorder and link it to the video in post. If you get frustrated, just remember the T2i is a PHOTO camera. Just appreciate that you are now shooting movie quality video for under a grand. At least that's what I tell myself to help me fall asleep at night. :)

It's not that bad. It is noticeable when the unit is first turned on, and before playing video/audio. But in a moderately sized room, with the video/audio at normal levels (and especially at high levels during louder scenes), it is barely noticeable if at all. It could be considered bothersome by some, in a small room, when the video/audio are quieter.
