Trumpet silencer?

I am an aspiring trumpeteer, and am starting to struggle with finding time during the day to practice. To fix the problem, I was planning to buy an electronic mute for my trumpet.





Do these mutes actually silence the trumpet, or at least to some extent?

Yamaha make a mute called "silent brass". You hook it up to a little amp and ear buds so you can hear yourself perfectly, whereas those around you barely hear anything.





Because you can hear yourself, you don't overblow.

Reply:Trumpet mutes do exactly that, mute the sound, they don't entirely silence the sound.
