I am sure you know, but it looks like it's a case where a company is being overly sensitive to privacy concerns of others, rather than the rights of the phone owner who may have valid reasons for not wanting a distraction during the taking of a picture.

tried shush!, no dice. yes, i tried going silent.

now htc just let me know:
"Regarding the shutter sound on you HTC One V, you can mute it by opening your camera and on the “Settings” icon, scroll down to camera interface and tap it, then you will be able to find the “Shutter Sound” checkbox, please tap it to disable it."
BUT
"Regarding the shutter sound on the camera of your HTC Device; you're carrier is able to remove some features of the OS, as they are the last customizing filter before it's pushed to the devices under their network, and this customization it's fully at their discretion, therefore if you're missing a feature, I would advise you to contact them, they will be able to guide you through their policies and terms regarding this matter."
