In TrashCanMorph>>moveToTrash, you will find two statements that play sounds  
depending on whether preserveTrash is set or not - playSoundNamed: 'scratch'
and playDeleteSound. You can mark the entire first statement as a comment to
exclude sounds. E.g.
        "Preferences soundsEnabled ..... ]]."
and that should do the trick. You could also replace the two play statements
with:
        playSoundNamed: 'silence'

Hi, Mark,

What you're hearing is the "page flip sound" made when the Trash  
"Book" is turned to a new page which will accommodate the item just  
added to the trash.

So to silence it, double-click on a trashcan, bring up the Trash's  
"book" menu, choose "sound effect for all pages", and then select  
"silence" as the desired sound.

Arguably it's a bug that a page-flip sound is made in this case, which  
we should fix in short order.  In the meantime, the above procedure  
should bring you the silence you seek.

Cheers,

   -- Scott


PS:  In a current Squeakland image, the Trash's "book" menu can be  
obtained by clicking on the black dot in its header.  In an OLPC-etoys  
image, bring up the halo on the trash tool, and from the halo menu  
choose "book..." to get the trash's "book" menu.  In that book menu,  
click on "visual and sound effects..." and from the resulting submenu  
choose "set sound effect for all pages", and choose "silence" at the  
desired sound effect.

Funny coincidence, I fixed this for OLPC image yesterday.
Try filing in attached change set.
You have to empty the current thrash and close it, then the new instance
will not make camera sound.

Karl,

Just curious. 'E' is used as a button icon. Does it make sense to request a
translation for it? Is the expectation that the translator would subsitute a
suitable letter to mean "to Empty"?
