Pls offer option to turn off GUI background sound

First of all thank you for all the hard work, I love il2.

A small gripe I have is the inability to turn off the background sounds when you are in the main menu or submenus. I know this is a small item, but after all these years, it is just a constant onslought of noise that you cannot turn off, and that keeps going even if you alt tab out.

I don't know if it is just me, but I do fly in between work sometimes, I have to take calls or other occasions where I'd prefer an option to have the game be mute when not flying or tanking, instead of exiting it or having to go into my equalizer and muting it via the system.

I know it is not a very important item, but I would be super happy if after all these years of listening to them, I could turn the noise off and it would be optional. There is an option for interface sounds and Title music, turning these off however does not help much, if you have an airport surrounding you so to speak.

Thank you for considering it.

Do you not have a 'mute' function on your keyboard ?

I do. But then what do you do, when you alt tab out, because say you want to watch a tutorial on youtube? That's not the point. It is annoying and obnoxious imo that you are forced to listen to the noise, even if the game is not in focus, etc. Since an option to turn it off would be nice.
