Yes, when I use the three-finger double-tap, there's no speech, but the sound effects remain. Here's a situation in which the VO sound effects are distracting: I have my IPod on a docking speaker. I go into Ibooks with the Braille display. Every time I switch pages, I hear a very loud sound-effect for page-switching, and it sounds almost louder than the music. I really do like he sound-effects without speech. I just wish that there was a way under certain circumstances to mute them. Obviously, if I'm using Braille while playing music with no speech, turning off VO with triple-click-home is not an option. Perhaps this is a suggestion possibility for Apple for future releases.
