So just turn it off. It's nice to have a choice in this matter. I totally agree with most here that it seems half-assed to have a lock sound but not an unlock sound. Either have both or none.
Lack of something that should be there is certainly one thing, but removing one half of something that's already there while leaving the other half that is just as important or unimportant makes even less sense than things that don't make much sense.
Well, aside from there being an option that you can set not to use it at all, what about the lock sound, why would it make sense to leave that in?
There's nothing that locks the screen either to correspond with the sound that's there...yet it's still there. They also could have easily changed/updated the sound, as they did with some other sounds.
Someone did mention that if you have VoiceOver turned on (as most sight-impaired people typically would) you would/should get an announcement that your phone has been unlocked when that happens. Assuming that's the case, at least it shouldn't be much of an issue from that point of view. That's not to say that the sound shouldn't be there though.
So when you unlock (not just lock) your device actually makes a sound in iOS 7 GM?
Does the phone still get unlocked even with TouchID? It makes no more or less sense then the lock sound, and yet that one is still there.
But if you turn it on, and then once the phone is locked unlock the phone you hear a sound? Seems like no one has been able to hear one (short of one person who said they heard it, but then said they didn't hear it anymore, so it wasn't really clear).
Any chance you might make a quick video of it? Would be very interesting to see it in action in the iOS 7 GM for someone, considering how rare something like that would be.
