Couldn't find it on the AT&T one, have to silence it before opening the app. Very annoying, it gets really awkward when the girls turn around and see me.. :-[

use a file explorer app and navigate to system/media/audio/ui and delete or rename the .ogg audio files

The camera volume is sent through the media stream. For as long as I can remember I've had a Tasker profile that silences the media volume while the camera's open, and then returns it to the previous volume as soon as I exit the app. This also solves the problem of notification sounds interrupting video recording.
thats a nice idea man. ive been meaning to learn tasker for ages

This one's pretty simple -- a good place to start.
- Make sure you're not in beginner mode (which doesn't mean this is difficult!): go to "Preferences" > "UI" and uncheck "Beginner Mode".
- Create a new profile and choose "Application" as the first context. Select "Camera" (and "Camcorder", depending on your device).
- Then you need to add a "new task".
* Tap the + to add a task, then choose "Variable". You'll use %OLDMEDIA as the "Name" and %VOLM as the "To" values.
* Tap + again and choose "Audio Settings", then "Silent Mode". Set it as "On".
* Hit the check mark to bring you back to the profiles screen
- Then add an "exit task" (by long pressing the task you just created). For this you'll just tap +, choose "Audio Settings" > "Media Volume". If you're not in beginner mode, you'll see looping blue arrows (looks like "refresh") in the upper right. Select that and then you can type in %OLDMEDIA under "Level".
- Hit the green checkmarks to get out of everything, and you've got it.
AWESOME! It works. Just to add extra clarity... after you choose "Variable" in step #3, you are presented with a set of options before you can enter "%OLDMEDIA" etc. You need to pick VARIABLE SET... then continue to entering "%OLDMEDIA etc.
THANKS!!!! Solved the problem!
Put phone in silent, or "permanently" disable the camera sound, which is easy for rooted devices. Get a root file explorer, go to /system/media/ui/audio and rename "Shutter.ogg" to "Shutter.ogg.disabled" or something like that. There are other sound files their for video camera sounds, focus, power on/off, and other UI functions. You can also change the phones normal sounds.
