Canon R5 Electronic shutter no sound

I got the canon R5, but i cant seem to get the sound of the shutter as it fires. i need the feedback to tell if I'm taking Photos as when I'm shooting i focus on the subject, not whether some box has flickered at the edge of the screen showing that i took a photo. is there a way to enable sound with the electronic shutter?

Other than that no other complaints about the R5

The Canon EOS R5 does not offer a traditional "shutter sound" when using the Electronic Shutter mode. Unlike the mechanical shutter, the electronic version is completely silent by design to facilitate discrete shooting. To receive audio feedback, you must navigate to the Beep settings in the yellow Set-up menu (Wrench tab 2). Ensure "Beep" is enabled and set to "Touch/ " or "Enable." This generates a digital "chirp" upon focus and capture. Alternatively, switching to Electronic 1st-curtain or Mechanical shutter modes provides the authentic, tactile acoustic feedback you are looking for during high-speed shooting.
