1) Why is there sound on slow motion video?

2) in group texts every person that sends a message I get a "subject: no subject" title above each persons text. Doesn't happen on 1 on 1 texts. Super annoying.

I've looked at all settings and can't figure these two things out. Can someone help?
 
There is almost never sound on slo-mo video. The only camera I have found that has that is my old Sony CX-550V, and it only does seven seconds of slo-mo.

Consider that there is no way to play back the slowed-down sound that will work for all players. Would you want it time-stretched but not pitched down? Or pitched down, but at 1/8 then everything will be subsonic.

well, my wife has an iPhone 6 (unfortunately) and her phone records slow motion with sound. I was wondering why the Note 4 doesn't have sound...

When the sound plays, it is a simple time-stretch (everything is slow and low-frequency), or do they time-stretch and then adjust the pitch up?

I ordered an iPhone 6 for my daughter, will be interested to try it.

Yeah, the iPhone 6 and 6+ both have slow motion with audio. The audio is stretched when playing back, so everything sounds really low pitched. It really is awesome!
But even when you step up into the DSLR world, some cameras have audio in slo-mo and some don't. Sony's A7s is capable of slow motion recording with sound, but Panasonic's GH4 does not have sound. Different cameras have different limitations.
It would be cool to have slo-mo audio on the note 4!
