In theaters. Partly because phones cannot be trusted to make zero noise otherwise (terrible OS design, in my opinion).

- akuji1993 9y agoMute them and put them in "Do not disturb" so they don't vibrate either? What other noise does your phone make?
- anonnyj 9y agoAs far as I've found, I can't make my iPhone not make the low-battery sound.
- tomtomau 9y agoThe low battery sound has always been silent for me when the silent rocker is switched. Do not disturb then means nothing on the screen at all.
- tinus_hn 9y agoThe iPhone does not play a low-battery sound when the mute switch is on. The only sound that plays is sound that you specifically asked for, like music or sound from a video, the alarm and sound from badly behaving apps.
- logicallee 9y ago>The only sound that plays is sound that you specifically asked for, like [...] sound from badly behaving apps.
- logicallee 9y agoThis got downvoted, so let me rephrase: "Unfortunately, where you listed the example of 'badly behaving apps' as one of the sounds it does play, this shows that in many cases the only way to be sure that it will not play sounds is to turn the power off. That is the only way to know this will not happen."
- anonnyj 9y agoThe problem I described happened many times these last 6 days. I made extra sure it was on silent each time (it was). I was pretty sure anyhow since I pretty much perpetually leave it on silent. Maybe it's a quirk of this particular model (iPhone 5), or some sort of bug, but it's definitely making the low battery sound while physical switch is set to mute.
- bckygldstn 9y agoMy previous phone used to reboot at inconvenient times, playing an unmutable startup sound.
