| Modern sound-based appliances often have a button or control to turn off the sound. This is great if, say, you've got the volume on your stereo or tv cranked way up and you want to take a phone call.
On an appliance like a telephone or speaker phone, the mute function works almost the exact opposite - it prevents the other party from hearing any sounds on your end. Even the volume control in MS Windows has a mute option to silence any but the most basic computer-based noises. I'm always scrambling for this one when I come across a web site with tacky midis playing in the background. | Existing:
