When I pull down the top menu (so to speak) and tap the bluetooth icon to turn on bluetooth, the phone always makes the notification sound. This is really annoying. It's the default notification sound so I can't just change the notification sound.
Am I missing some way that I can turn off the phone making a noise when I enable bluetooth?

I assume it is playing in both places, right? Speaker then your BT headphones? That's how it happens for me. I've wondered the same thing, but I'm guessing it plays in both places because it assumes you won't keep your headphones on all the time, and you won't hear the notifications in that case if it only plays in the BT headphones.
I've also noticed that in the car, when I have the S3 connected to my stereo via the headphone jack, the notification only plays through the phone speaker. It causes the playing music to reroute there briefly while it plays the sound...I know because the music stops, notification plays through phone speaker, music resumes through the phone speaker, then switches back to the headphone jack. very annoying.

You don't say if you are rooted but , if so, the blue15 toggle mod by DavidDee in Themes and Apps does not make this sound when activating Bluetooth.

Yes, I'm running the stock ROM but rooted. It appears that the sg3 ONLY makes the notification sound for turning on bluetooth if you do it through the pull down menu with the toggle bar at the top of the screen. If you go through menu/settings, or ANY kind of widget on the main screen, the notification sound doesn't come on.
I turn on bluetooth so I can use a headset and NOT bother other people, so setting off the notification sound when I turn on bluetooth is counter-productive.

The mod I mentioned is a replacement for the dropdown with extra options and triggering bluetooth from dropdown no longer makes this sound.
I'm currently using a stock based GB rom, Aurora 0.7.
I have a strange issue when listening to music with my headphones connected. I have the phone in silent mode so without the headphones connected the notifications make no sound. However, with the headphones connected and still in silent mode, when I get a notification the sound plays out of the phone speakers. I would expect this to not make a sound at all, or play the notification sound through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this behaviour?
Thanks.
For anyone interested, I gave SoundAbout a try, but this did not work. The best workaround seems to be Hearing Saver. The settings can be updated so there are no notification sounds played at all when the headphones are connected. Both these apps require running a background service.
Anyone know how to stop the sound?
I prefer to silence just that sound at night while sleeping.
I don't want to root or delete the file.
I tried the silencer app in the market.
I tried turning down system volume.
I have tasker.
What sound? Mine was on a wireless charger all night and I didn't hear any noises other than the attachment to charging sound when I set the phone down
My problem is that even the lowest volume setting proves to be way too loud for notifications. I searched for this problem and found that the app "light flow lite" (an xda app which primarily controls the flashing of the LED light) might help. It does have sound settings as well as light settings but I could not figure out how to set it so that my voice call ringer played a bit louder and my notifications played a bit softer.
I saw a setting to separate the ringer volume from the notification volume but when I did that I got no notification sound at all.
I guess I either need another way to handle this OR some very specific directions to do what I want to do with the Light Flow Lite app. I want a lower notification volume than the lowest setting and a bit louder ringer. The very lowest volume setting disturbs everyone around me. I realize I could look for a different sound and if I have to I will do that, I guess.
TIA
Is there a way to change sounds that play? For example change the charging sound with a custom sound file, turning the screen off/on, ect
