This let's me have a 'silent' alarm using my silent sound as the ring tone with the phone unmuted, or a vibrate-only alarm when the phone is muted with the silent sound as the ring tone.

My old mobile phone had a 'silent' mode: no ring and no vibrate. Alarms also wouldn't play when the ring was muted. To create similar behavior on the iPhone, I created five seconds of silence in GarageBand (iLife '08), and installed it as a ringtone. I used GarageBand because it's convenient.

Create a 'silent' mode on the iPhone
Heh...I was just helping a friend of mine with the process of making his own ringtones in GarageBand, and it reminded me of a prank we used to pull.
Create a 'silent' mode on the iPhone
Good times for good pranks indeed. I remember recording the beep using the Mac's built-in mic on a co-worker's machine. Then turn the volume to full and put the Mac to sleep. The next time the coworker made a boo boo, the beep came on in full volume shouting "You dummy". We were howling with laughter while that co-worker was totally shocked.

Utterly pointless.

As the original hint notes, alarms still sound even if the phone is in Silent mode. I personally like this behavior, but for those who want even alarms to be silent, this hint provides a solution.
I don't get it
A silent ringtone when the iPhone is muted. So its more muted. That is the most useless hint ever.
I don't get it
It would seem I wasn't quite clear enough. No matter what you do to an iPhone when an alarm goes off it plays the alarm sound. Since you can't (currently) turn the volume completely off an alarm means sound. This is sometimes quite useful but sometimes not so much. Hence the sound of silence.

not un-needed
I need this because of some idiot, I have no idea who, calls any time of day. The last straw was about a week ago at 1:20 am.
