When you've muted another resident, you will not hear chat from them, receive IMs from them, nor see their particles. Likewise, they will not hear chat nor receive IMs from you until you remove them from your Muted Residents list. You won't be able to receive messages or items from objects you've muted.

How Do I Mute an Object?

When you've muted an object, you'll cease to receive messages or items from it.

The first thing you should probably do is locate the offending object. One easy way to do that for an object that's making noise is to select the following settings in the View menu:

• View > Beacons Always On
• View > Beacons > Sound Sources
• View > Beacons > Render Beacons

Objects that are making noise will be highlighted with a yellow beacon.

Mute the object by right-clicking on it and selecting More > More > Mute. You can also mute an object by name from the Mute List.
