Carlos,

you can make yourself a tile that stops all sounds.

1) make a new script, switch it to "textual" mode using its white menu button:

2) replace the "^self" line in the script with "SoundPlayer stopPlayingAll", then press Cmd-S to save it:

3) use the new tile in your own script:

Explanation:

"SoundPlayer stopPlayingAll" is an expression from the "Squeak" programming language underlying Etoys. By switching a script to "textual" mode you can enter arbitrary statements. This is useful to access functionality not provided by Etoys tiles directly.
