Depending on your iPad model, you can also silence it with the switch on the side of your iPad, which you might need to enable for muting purposes in the device's Settings app.
Turning the volume down using the buttons on the side of an iPad will silence music and videos playing on the device, but it won't completely silence the tablet.

Does The Public Care About Tech Backlash? And Does That Matter?
