That's a lot of effort compared to flipping the hardware silence switch or pushing a button in the notification pane.

I've had issues where I might be clicking on a YouTube link or whatever and suddenly my phone is blasting obnoxious music or profanity since the YouTube app has a totally different volume setting than my master volume. And of course if you slam the "volume decrease" button too quickly the phone thinks you want to adjust the main notification volume rather than the app, so it's impossible to adjust the sound for a few seconds while the phone waits for you to "finish" with the main volume before switching the button controls over to the app. It's super frustrating at times, and makes me long for the days of analog volume control wheels that worked instantly and didn't lag. Or maybe I just don't know how to use my new-fangled phone.

Yeah I've had weird issues with doing transcription and volume. I just used earbuds outside of my ears, but I could imagine that being useful in some settings.

I spent a few years back in the early 'aughts wrapping the case of our old family PC with blankets and surrounding it with a tightly packed pillow fort to help muffle the loud rear end dialup modem tones. Later we got a newer computer and the tones were played through the speaker for cosmetic(?) effect and you could just mute the drat thing and not have to worry about being stealthy. Granted this wasn't discovered until a few weeks of messing with it the old fashioned way and that poo poo was a gamechanger.

L0 or M0 or M or M3 in the initialization string probably would have muted the speaker. Which command you used depended on brand. M0 was typical.

I always assumed it was the NIC or whatever making the noise out of necessity as the dialup noises weren't coming out of the speaker, but rather the tower itself. It doesn't really matter as that old Compaq hasn't existed in any capacity in nearly 15 years.

It had to send tones through the phone line, not play them in the room.

Even ISPs had limited numbers of lines in the beginning. Or the handshaking process could hang halfway through and you'd know it was probably something on their end. Or you'd know someone else in the house was making a phone call, because you didn't get a dial tone and you'd be able to save them from all the screeching by furiously clicking cancel. Like everything, it'd mean nothing if all went well all the time.

Am I a bad person for dialing on purpose when my sister was on a hour long phone conversation? In my defence, I was also 11.

I used to dial for the internet every time my sister went on one of her hours long phone calls so you're not alone. The best part was somehow getting snippets of her conversation too which eventually devolved into "my sister is a LITTLE RAT SHE IS A RAT DO YOU HEAR ME RORO?!" and so on. We didn't have the best relationship.

You could tell if something went wrong during the negotiation, it would sound different and I'd know that while the connection would appear to be up, traffic wasn't going to flow. Luckily external modems mean you can just hit the power button!
