I've mapped a quick access button on my steering wheel to "toggle navigation mute/unmute". Best experience so far. Thanks to the engineer that decided to put that button there instead of a blank (when ordered without heated steering wheel).

Nah, I'm living outside the US, my home is made from proper bricks and concrete. A bit slower to build but rather good when it comes to sound insulation. I could imagine with those strand board walls that might be a problem though.

Either that or KA-TSCHONK, silence, if there were already too many boxes on that circuit at a lan party 😁

I've found that the only thing you can hear through a closed basement door are noisy high speed fans, e.g. from used 19" servers, disks produce much less noise.
