While mutes do make the sound quieter, they are usually used to change the sound of the instrument, called the "timbre." Mutes are like the special effects of the music world. Among brass instruments, mutes are most common in trumpet and trombone. They are rarely used in euphoniums, baritones, and tubas.
A straight mute is the most common. It gives the instrument a quieter, crisper sound. It is generally used in symphonic music.

(Think Duke Ellington!)
