The short "thwuck" is hardly noticeable, compared to candy wrappers
and creaking seats.  Then, I'd put the camera under my velvet jacket
to recock the shutter.

It's not the volume.  The shutter noise is so short, and most people
would not know what made the sound.  The recocking "whirrrrr" says
"look, I have a camera here!!!!" even though it's quieter.

I wish I had the new firmware on Sunday.
