As far as I've found, I can't make my iPhone not make the low-battery sound.
The iPhone does not play a low-battery sound when the mute switch is on. The only sound that plays is sound that you specifically asked for, like music or sound from a video, the alarm and sound from badly behaving apps.
These responses seem completely alien to me. Do those of you who turn your phones off or leave them places not have spouses/children to be responsible for, aging parents/grandparents to help out with, or in generally want to be available for friends when they need anything or just want to grab a beer and catch up?
Good point about children: I dare not be incommunicado during the day.
Every night. I love not being oncall any more. I started out as a sysadmin, then Dir Ops, and now I'm a consultant/trainer. 15 years of on-call was enough.

We somehow survived w/o back in the day, and that feeling of constantly being contactable, or feeling you need to be, is debilitating imo.
I very much want my child and anyone who may be charged with keeping them safe to be able to contact me 24/7. Too much can go wrong too fast to not be able to be there for those that I care about.

"Unfortunately, where you listed the example of 'badly behaving apps' as one of the sounds it does play, this shows that in many cases the only way to be sure that it will not play sounds is to turn the power off. That is the only way to know this will not happen."

Almost unheard of these days (depending on where you live).
Personally I never switch off my iphone or even set it silent, but after years of living an event-driven life I learned to ignore those interruptions.
