Does it record without making any noise?

Yes. This recorder is perfect for beginners. You don't need a colledge degree to read the instructions. I love it.

I didn't notice any noise problem with mine. It is a pretty good recorder for the price

The recording is very good. There is not any noise. The clarity of my voice is very good.

I never paid attention to that fact. But in the playback, it is very clear as if I was back in the conversation.

No it does not. Pick up a sound activated mini recorder and hide it some where near by.

I've only used it to make one recording to test the sound and it seemed to work well enough for that, although I am not sure how much background noise it would pick up if you are in a noise environment, since I don't think it has any kind of noise cancellation-type anything.

I don't think it does. If I'm not mistaken the unit doesn't have a HDD drive on board. I don't recall a record button when looking at the operation either, but it has been a few months since my Son has used it.

Yes, this camera does have a physical shutter that does produce noise. The Camera Labs video review has a section democtrating the "drive mode" so that you can hear the sound it will make.http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_G1/video_review.shtmlI know a couple of cameras have "silent mode" for their shutters, however with any camera of this size, ninja pics may be a bit harder to pull off.

Yes, audio recording has its own on/off function. But overall, I don't recommend this device.

You can turn sound recording on or off permanently in the recording settings. There is no way to turn it off temporary. I.e. to turn sound recording on or off you have to get into camera settings menu (not a big deal though).

No mute button, but since it's plug and play I suppose you could just unplug it when you didn't want it to record.

Yes however if you don't want have it record it you can disable that feature

I don't think in records audio, but I have only used the Pictures mode not the video mode as it eats up too much battery life.

I do not use headphones and mine makes no noise at all when I turn it on or off. I have to look at the display to see if it is on. I just use record and pause button to start recording and to stop recording prior to turning it off to mark the stop point on the mp3. If yours is doing an audible noise, perhaps you could check the setup settings.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.

not that I know of...but I only use the device occasionally. I attach it to headphones and listen while it records though sometimes...

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.

Yes it does. Also worth noting is that when you do this it does not beep or chime. So if you are recording and wish to be discreet, it will not cause any disruption.

Yes, the device records both video and audio in default mode, but audio recording can be disabled if desired.
