If you rest your finger(s) just lightly on the strings with your fretting hand and pluck the string with your strumming hand you should hear that the note has deadened.
Or you can deaden the strings with your picking hand by lightly resting the palm of your strumming hand on the strings (closer to the bridge is easier and more effective)

∙ 13y agofrom experience I never found a way, just when my fingers got sore I stopped playing for the day so you have three options, thinner strings (aka a lighter gauge) or like I said before come back and play later... or play in lower tunings, wikipedia can be very helpful with this... D tuing, C tuning .. ect. They flap like crazy any lower with light strings.
string gauges I recoomend for beginners is light gauge 9-42 the first little while, their very thin as anything thinner you'll hate because they break fast. Its almost like weight training as I play with the heaviest set in the store now , they never break and stay in tune much longer.

∙ 11y agoThere are many ways to affect the sound of a string instrument. The amount of pressure applied to the bow and the speed of the bow must be balanced to ensure the tone remains beautiful. Lowering the pressure and slowing the bow makes a quieter sound than using much pressure and speed. The position of the bow between the bridge and the finger board also affect the tone of the note, more strident very near the bridge, more mellow (and much less powerful) over the end of the fingerboard. These are the primary methods used to affect the sound.
There is another, using the mute. However, this is not necessarily to soften the sound: the mute changes the tone by adding mass to the bridge. The result is often a more nasal sound which is quieter, but with a good player, the volume between muted and unmuted can be matched.
