Making Some Noise with the Canon EOS 5Ds
Let's make some noise with the EOS 5Ds. We already talked about one important 5Ds noise factor (high ISO noise), but the audible noise a camera makes can be quite important in quiet situations. When the photographer wishes to remain unnoticed, such as at a wedding or when photographing wildlife, a quiet shutter release is greatly appreciated. The good news is that the 5Ds performs at a noticeably lower decibel than its predecessor.
Following are links to MP3 files capturing "The Sounds of the Canon EOS 5Ds". Turn up the volume!

Burst Comparison: 5D III, 5Ds, 7D II and 1DX (3.5 second clips of each)
It is not hard to figure out which cameras included in the burst comparison will garner the most attention. Notably, you will hear that the 5Ds is quieter than the 5D III with a less-sharp sound response. Designed to reduce vibration, the new mirror mechanism is also responsible for quieter performance.
The 5D III's silent mode was very useful and the 5Ds retains the same ability with a similar sound level.
