On the pumps in my area the mute button is usually the second one from the bottom and it may be on either side. I don't care to watch them while I wait for my 40 gallon tank to fill but if I'm just topping off, I don't bother to mute, I wont be there long. I also grew up before skippable ads and watched Over-The-Air TV where you couldn't skip them. That's why there is still a format where an hour long show is actually 44-46 minute and a 30 minute show is around 22 minute runtimes on streaming services. Those commercial breaks were a speed contest to see if you could grab a snack, use the bathroom, or get a cup of coffee before the show came back on.

Same for me. I was rocking out to Cinderella, Scorpions, and Poison on my Walkman and then it sounded better later on the Discman with no need to flip or rewind for the specific songs.

I have 4. My main and second are 46" each, the 3rd. is a 27" in normal/landscape, and the 4th is a 27" in portrait. The main is in front of me, the 2nd. is to the right and angled toward me, the 3rd. faces me at 90 degrees from the main, and the 4th. Is mounted above the 3rd. I used them originally for streaming and all of the windows I had open to monitor everything at the time as well as the game I was playing. Now I find them useful for working on projects, watching videos or movies while I play a game, and working on multiple spreadsheets at the same time. The one in portrait is especially helpful when I'm looking at a season's worth of a scheduling spreadsheet.
