No. For the quieter performance, it's a new shutter. Reduced top speed from 
1/8000 to 1/4000.
Discrete mode is a firmware update I believe. Dicrete mode fires the shutter 
on the down press, re-cocks the shutter when you release the shutter button. 
Will not change the overall noise level of the shutter.

Dr. Ted, please don't hit me!! :-)

So regarding the shutter sound, does the latest firmware makes the M8
sound exactly like the M8.2?

For educational elucidation purpose only, of course. I mean, when I
get an M8, I will make sure to couple it with a lawn mower so it
sounds just like that.
