I think it would he useful to have a traffic warning audio alert muting capability.
I am considering the scenario when near an airfield and needing to listen to A/G / AFIS / ATC but reception being "masked" by lots of SD/SE2 traffic alerts.
Could an extra muting "tab" be added to the moving map display alongside the "Radio" tab?
I suggest this type of muting action as it needs to be "one press" and easy to access on tablets and smartphones.
Maybe the mute functions lasts for a few seconds (10 secs?) before automatically being returned to "un-mute".

I found it didn't work very well in the air, Graham. I selected and wanted it to 'suppress all', just as it says on the tin but it doesn't. If the SkyDemon algorithm thinks there is still a danger then you still get the 'danger' warnings. Unfortunately, many people don't have an air switch attached to their ADSB Out equipment, which means they are transmitting while they are on the ground. I got so distracted by having 'danger' warnings from ground traffic piped to my headset, even though I'd already told SkyDemon to shut up, that I turned off the Bluetooth to my headset. This is certainly not ideal. The 'Shut Up' switch should mean just that and not 'We think we know better than you when not to shut up'.
As it is, I have now piped all my auxiliary audio through a mixer and have the ability to just turn the master volume down to zero and get rid of the extraneous audio distractions. I want audio when I'm flying around but I do not want to receive 'danger' warnings on Final from the guy with his SE2 blaring away while he's taxying to the fuel pumps
