If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone, there are a few ways to disable sound. One way is to go to the Settings app and select the Sound option. Another way is to go to the Menu option and select Settings > About Phone > Device Status. If you don’t see the Sound option in either of these settings, then you can try disabling it by going into the Settings app and selecting Language & Region > Device Status and checking the box next to Disable sound on this device.
You may want to have sound on so you can hear phone calls and other notifications come in. However, that includes “System Sounds” too. These are things like the keyboard, dialing phone numbers, and the aforementioned charging and unlocking.

To turn off these specific sounds, we’ll head into the Settings. Swipe down from the top of the screen once and tap the gear icon in the top right.
Next, go to the “Sounds and Vibration” section.
Scroll down to “System Sound/Vibration Control.”
Now you can toggle off “Screen Lock/Unlock” and “Charging” in the top “Sound” section.
Additionally, you can turn off the vibration for “Charging” on the same screen as well.
It’s really as simple as that. Now you can keep your phone in sound or vibration modes and you’ll be alerted of phone calls and other notifications, but not unlocking or charging your phone. This is almost always enabled by default on Samsung Galaxy phones, so it’s a good tip to know about.
