In an integrated AM-FM radio circuit connected for operation in the FM mode, the voltage appearing across the normally unused AM tank at the IF amplifier is noise in that AM band centered at 455 KHz. That noise, which is present only when the IF amplifier is not limiting due to the presence of an FM signal therein, is used for muting the receiver. The noise is passed through a simple IC-on-board low pass filter to a noise detector and then to a voltage controlled attenuator to attenuate the demodulated audio from the FM detector to the audio amplifier.
