Swiping down from the speaker symbol in the top panel shows an option to enable 'quiet mode. Enabling this mode should suppress all audible output from the phone. It doesn't.

Use case 1:
I am in a meeting. I activate quiet mode on my Ubuntu phone. I have an alarm set in the clock app. It sounds right in the meeting, despite me having selected quiet mode. I get fired. I blame Ubuntu for it and trash the phone.

Use case 2:
I am in a meeting. It is boring, and I decide to play PathWind (present installed on Ubuntu phone). I am very cautious and not only select quiet mode, but in addition set volume pt 0 (which should not even be necessary, given that quiet mode is selected. But I have learned not to trust vicious Ubuntu, see use case 1.) With quiet mose active AND volume set to 0, I start PathWind. IT PLAYS MUSIC!!! LOUDLY!!! I get fired. I will never use Ubuntu again and warn all of y colleages about it.

This is a severe bug that can put people into very, very akward situations. It may well be the single reason why a user will never agson trust Ubuntu. Fix it ASAP.
