Cell Phones Shouldn't Make Sounds When You Turn Them OFF.

You're at a wedding, and you just realized you forgot to turn off your cell phone. Don't bother, it'll make even more noise turning it off.
File this under "Stupid", "Pointless" and "Huh?"
I can't understand why some phone manufacturers insist on playing a sound whenever you turn them on or off, especially off.
Yes, Motorola, your Android phones are nifty. Does it have to say "D-R-O-I-D" every time you hit the power button?
It's pretty simple. Most people keep their cell phones on 24/7, but there are rare times when you've got to turn them off, because you don't want to distract people when it rings. In fact, that's the only time people turn them off.
Since the ONLY time people use the power button is in places and times when we don't want the distraction of a ringing phone... Why... Why... WHY would we want the phone to make a sound when we turn them off?
I think Apple's iPhone was the first phone that didn't make any fanfare turning it on or off, but to this day, there are still a lot of phone makers who insist on playing a little jingle when you hit the power button. Sometimes it's a little tune... or a musical version of Tah-Dah! Pointless.
