Lock screen and touch screen sound... has changed?!

[RetroBob]

Today it seems that the lock screen (lock and unlock) and touch screen sounds have changed to something new, it's hard to describe, certainly not the satisfying clicking sound. It's more of a dull popping noise, and is slightly uncomfortable! I can't for the life of me work out how to change it or work out why it (or me) has done this. This is a standard Nexus 4, not done any funny business with it. I got KitKat last night but am sure it was working fine earlier today. The phone dial tone is the same.

Can anyone help? I like having the noise whilst typing and clicking on stuff but the new one is driving me wild!

Sure, but you will have to root your device, which may be more work than you may intended.

But I agree, they changed the camera shutter sound too which also isn't very satisfying.

Yes, it changed. Must be a Kit Kat thing. I for one like it.

BUT, if you don't just Settings -> Sounds -> Untick Screen Lock Sound. Done.

EDIT: The guy above me is telling you to root. You do NOT have to do that if you want to disable the sound. Maybe if you want to change it, sure. But I don't think its a big enough deal to root your phone about if you want to.

I like the new sound. Seems more discreet
