How to Turn off the Android Dialpad Sounds
Android devices are highly customisable, not just in terms of visuals but also sound. The operating system has attracted developers, who have invested a lot to produce applications for every purpose. When it comes to sound, you can always put your phone on silent mode. However, you can also set the volume for individual elements separately without using any additional apps. It is easy to switch off all UI sounds by selecting silent mode but if you are looking to switch off only the dial pad sounds, you can do that very easily.
