Most of the noise comes from the mirror and the focal-plane shutter. Some
P&S's are so quiet that they have a beep you can turn on to tell you that the
picture was taken.

Some of them even come with immitation mirror slap sounds, to
make you feel better about your 'cheap' camera.

about your car, your vacuum cleaner, your camera ...)

Lawn mower manufacturers have known for decades that noisy lawn mowers
and leaf blowers sell better than quiet ones. People think they are
more 'powerful.'

Well, if my name was fake, it would at least be believable.

Real faked identity papers. A new trend.

ever hear of Mt "Blanc"

Yes, it means "white mountain", not "empty space" or "4
underscores". As such it's *much* closer to my name than to yours.

Well, at least you managed a lucky accident at birth. That's
something to be proud of.
