mute companions?

Since the addition of companions there has been a lot of unwanted noise pollution in my hideout.

I spend a lot of my time tabbed out of this game looking at trade, reading guides etc and its really annoying having to adjust my sound settings every time someone with a mandible comes to look at my shop.

Its even worse now that I'm the one with the mandible lol. I don't want to have to turn it off every time I tab out just to get some peace and quiet in my hideout.

A simple mute option for companions in the sound menu would go a long way
