Disable notifications when not navigating

Post by IamMdM
A question from a newbie - sorry if it was answered before, but I couldn't find an answer.

I don't need navigation during my daily commute, it's the same route every day. I could probably drive with my eyes closed ;-). But I'd like to keep Waze open so I can contribute my speed data and also gain driving points. It works fine except Waze still tells me (aloud) about potholes and such. I don't need that, I know all these potholes too. Is there a simple way to disable these voice notifications while driving with nav off? Other than of reducing sound volume to 0?

I am using Android/Samsung Galaxy S6

Go to the 'Settings' button, bottom left and set sound to 'Sounds off'.
