I have a Nikon N65 SLR camera (uses film, not digital). How to make the Shutter Sound like a PRO? I mean how to make a loud shutter noise, like those professional camera does ?

It isn’t the shutter that makes the noise. In an SLR, there is a mirror inside the camera body that flips up when you press the shutter button. It has to flip up so that the film or sensor can be exposed and that is the click that you hear when you press the shutter button.
You cannot do anything about the sound your current camera makes. Why would you want to? If you are doing nature or candid photography, a loud noise is going to ruin the moment.
edit-Appreciate the thumbs down. Considering only Photoace and I were able to point out that the mirror movement is what really makes the noise. The shutter makes a barely audible sound when it moves. The film advancing is probably louder than the shutter and with digital there is not even that.

I looked through the manual really quick and didn’t see anything about adjusting the camera to make the sounds you desire.
I’ve honestly only ever seen that feature in digital point and shooters like my DSC-p73.
As for the others asking why? Meh would seem pretty obvious to me, it’s more of a novelty than anything else. Not every photographer wants the super high end quick and silent cameras, some just want a little fun periodically to liven things up and mess around. I’m sure I’ll get a thumbs down, but I can’t be the only one that sees this.

You can’t make the shutter sound louder (without a hidden mike) but you can make it sound faster. Simply set your mode dial to Sports Continuous and the camera will fire a rapid sequence for as long as you hold down the shutter button. See page 38 of the manual here.http://www.cameramanuals.org/nikon_pdf/n…

What a strange thing to want! You want a really loud shutter noise for…………what? To draw attention to yourself? Not exactly an advantage for street or candid photography. To scare off the shy wildlife you’re trying to photograph? Before the advent of slr’s with their noisy clattering mirrors, the cameras the pro’s used included Leicas or tlr’s like the Rolleiflex; a particular advantage of both these marques was (and still is for M – series film Leicas) their exceptionally quiet, unobtrusive shutter noise.

There is no feature on cameras that include sound effects.
Actually most of my “pro” cameras are rather quiet .. why do you thing professional cameras make so much noise? From the movies?
The “noise” you hear is the sound of the mirror moving out of the way, the shutter opening and closing and the film advancing.

Yes the movies add noise effects to make something seem more real than it even is in real life. It’s part of the illusion.
If the N65 is capable of having a motor drive that would also add to the effect your after. But most pros would care for a quiet camera over a noisy one any day. Especially anyone that works events and wants to record people being people not people looking to see what that noise was.
~~~~EDIT~~~~
If your doing this for a video project the Hollywood types would record the sound separately and insert the sound in post production at the appropriate level.

You can’t. The shutter makes all the noise it is likely to make (unless it breaks). Sorry.
