This really used to bug me and what made it worse is that in the build.prop, there is a line saying:
'media.capture.shuttertone=1'
Changing it to 0 didn't use to have an effect.

However, if you navigate to /system/media/audio/ui, you will find:
camera_click.ogg
VideoRecord.ogg

Simply rename this to:
camera_click.ogg.bak
VideoRecord.ogg.bak

After rebooting, wollah! No more annoying camera tones!

Hope this helps!

If u are using CM7, go to Settings>CM Settings>Sound>Mute Camera Shutter Sound!

I was excited to find this setting also.

It was a stock setting for the droid 3 camera on my atrix running alien......not sure about stock blur though.

it's a stock setting on my atrix as well.

not only that, but I believe certain states or something require there to be an camera sound that cannot be removed in order to prevent from sneaky pictures being taken.

like at a strip bar.

if you can even get your phone out without being accosted by security. :D

The shutter sound is easy enough to get rid of, but I've found nothing that'll remove the camera focus sound yet. It drives me insane!
