## Mute timings vs silences
|
|
|
|
[Mute timings](ref:shared-mute-timings) and [silences](ref:shared-silences) are distinct methods to suppress notifications. They do not prevent alert rules from being evaluated or stop alert instances from appearing in the user interface; they only prevent notifications from being created.
|
|
|
|
The following table highlights the key differences between mute timings and silences.
|
|
|
|
| | Mute timing | Silence |
|
|
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| **Setup** | Created and then added to notification policies | Matches alerts using labels to determine whether to silence them |
|
|
| **Period** | Uses time interval definitions that can repeat periodically | Has a fixed start and end time |
