How to disable beep when using fingerprint reader and double-tap power button for camera?

[piddlydo]

Subject sort of says it all. There is a small beep that's made when you touch the fingerprint reader and when you activate the camera by double-tapping the power button on the Nexus 5x.

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn that off. Anyone know?

Or am I mistaking the sound of the vibration to be a beep? The sound is noticeably louder than the vibration from other devices I've used.

I get the activation tone for the camera but not the fingerprint scan.

I'm certain that the sound you are hearing is the vibration motor. It is known to make a “chirp” or “beep” when it’s activated. Even with "vibrate on touch" disabled in the settings, vibration feedback from the fingerprint scanner and the camera power button shortcut persist.

Yep, that is definitely the vibration you are hearing.

Yeah, I hear a vibration but not a beep.

I'd love to be able to turn the vibration off, but I'm assuming that'd require root (and I'm not ready to root this phone just yet).

Agreed ^^^
