Sure. Download my rom. Startup/shutdown sounds are at 0.
EDIT: You could aways swap out your sounds for quieter versions as well, if you really like the sprint sounds.

Or u can just change system volume to 0, and leave notif, media, and ringer volumes up

[Q] For bootanimations that include sound - what controls the volume?

I have a custom bootanimation that includes audio. Sometimes when I boot it is VERY loud. Other times not so loud. I've been unable to identify exactly what controls the volume for the bootanimation.

I believe system volume. Try quick settings app to adjust it.

Thats what i was thinking that what ever vol you were on when you reboot or shut down is how loud the boot sound will be, but not positive. I always remove the boot sounda.
It is the ringer volume. If you have no ringer volume, you will get no sound. If you have high ringer volume, you get loud sound. You can remove or change the boot sound by replacing or removing the VZW_Droid.mp3 in /system/customize/resource/, or if your rom has /data/customize, then /data/customize/resource/

Hmmm...
I am running stock, updated to Gingerbread. There is a separate bootup sound file in my syste/customize/resource folder named VZW_Droid.mp3. I swapped mine out with a renamed short mp3.

Silent everything instead of just the ringer

How can I make my gnexus go completely silent when I put it on vibrate/silent mode? I don't what apps to make any sound when I turn down the volume all the way using the volume buttons. Right now I have to go to settings>sounds and change it there.
Oh and is there a way to force it to always vibrate even on silent mode?

1. You can turn down just the media volume. That volume can be adjusted with the volume buttons too, you need to let media make a sound and then press the volume button.
You can also search for volume widgets on the market, I bet there are some that will suit your needs.
2. You can set vibrate in sound setting to "always".

1. That's the problem though. I'm sitting in class and open an app and suddently it starts playing a music. Even the sound of taking a screen shot is unaffected when phone is on silent.
2. I can not find this option in Settings>Sound. I have "Vibrate and Ring" which is set to enabled but it does not affect silent mode.
I use an app called RealSilent off the market. Its free and does what you need.
Use Audio Manager, or something similar. There's plenty of apps out there...
I use quick setting app.....has all volume settings on one page to change values of basically everything

You could also use a profiles app and create a profile that silences everything. (And also a profile that brings everything back up to volumes you like when it's not silenced.)
Thanks everyone I'll try the market
I believe the actual problem is that ICS has combined notification volume and ringer volume in to 1 volume. I haven't seen any of those apps mentioned above, but how can they possibly get around this newly imposed restriction in ICS??
I use Llama for setting profiles on my ICS Nexus S and it warns you about this exact thing.
I've used Mute before on the SGS. Worked well there. I haven't used it yet for the Galaxy Nexus so I can't say if it's been updated for ICS.

Lol this isn't just ics
It was in gingerbread too
The notification and ringer volume are the same (and I actually prefer that)
And OP all you need to do is make the ringer silent, then go into a media app, something like music, power amp, even camera, and then turn down the media volume from there, its pretty simple

But not very practical to do this over and over. Its easier to have a toggle.
Phone on silent in class, open Tiny Tower, and BOOM you have tons of sounds lol. So I really need to find one that works. I used "silent toggle widget" on my G2, but it doesn't mute everything on the GNex.

Looks like "mute" works... when you hit the widget to mute everything, and go into "sound" settings, the ringer is silenced and the games/media sound is set to 0. I'll test more after class. Not gonna risk it right now
Also, the widget is kinda ugly but I think I can look past that if it does what I need.

Wrong. I'll let the picture do the talking instead of a petulant "lol".

How to link Ringer Volume with Notification Volume?

So I'm on moar V 5.0; how can I link the ringer volume with notification volume?
Love this rom but hate that only ringer volume goes up when using your volume keys. I never even turn up ringer, I by habit am thinking I'm turning up notifications, which I am sadly not. I have to go and manually do it.
Is there a way to link the 2?

since nobody else responded i'll give it a shot. i think (i've switched from moar so i'm going by memory) if you go system settings>sound>volumes in the middle of that pop up menu there is a checkable box that links them
hope that helps

ring volume / Volume +

I find the ring volume a bit too low, and i tried with Volume + app
When i test some music from the phone, it sounds really loud ( nice ) but when i receive a call, same song or ringtone i tried from the phone, isn´t the same, it´s lower the volume.
Is there a way to fix that ? I really want the ringer volume louder.
Thank you
If you have dsp manager or any other sound mods installed on your device you can try to disable them and only run volume +.

I did already but still same situation.
It should ring at the same volume, for music listening from the sd card and for the incoming calls / ring volume ?
Maybe Volume + doesen´t work for ring volume

Volume+ is for gingerbread not for jb. If you are rooted flash a custom kernel or flash a sound mod

Sorry, i thought Volume + is for JB too
But it sounds louder when i listening music, with Volume + enabled. And i thought, it should work for incoming calls, too
What would you recommend, instead Volume + ?
Thank you
