Are you really whining about this?. As mr deez said, its illegal for ANY digital camera not to have a shutter sound. I'm not a 100% sure this is true, but I have heard the same in the past. Who cares if it makes a 1-3 second sound. Its not even that loud.
Also, to my knowledge any electronic device with a camera (minus digital cameras) make a shutter sound when you take a photo. At least my current and past cell phones did.
It's a Japanese law, so it only affects products which are sold in Japan (and manufacturer's who don't bother to create a toggle for other regions).
