Regarding whether the addon is safe:
There is no safety guarantee that can be given, that’s why the addon policy exists with warning icons in the library before installing. You can read it here #1259477034959114341 or on the website.

I personally looked at the source code and I saw nothing wrong with its implementation when I added it.

It is closed source as requested by ArenaNet for all addons that reverse engineer the game.

Regarding your system audio:
This does sound unrelated since the addon does not interact with your system audio as far as I know, but @dreamy hornet should be able to maybe answer this.

Edit:
This is the same case for any addon by the way, having the source code does not make it safe. You effectively trust this author when installing the addon. It’s the same case with ArcDPS, AddonLoader or BlishHUD. At any point any addon could just publish a version with added code that is not part of the public repository. Of course I do my best to prevent such things, as I mentioned I reviewed the source code when I added it and I do not add addons that refuse to share the sourcecode with at least me. Equally if anything happened and the author turns out to be malicious I would immediately remove and block the addon(s) in question.

thanks for addressing this Delta and saving me the trouble
as you said, the addon does not interact with your system audio, and it most certainly does not make any permanent modifications to the game
the addon does not modify audio volume, it can only prevent clips from playing altogether
whatever issue you're experiencing, I highly doubt is related to peace and quiet

the technical TLDR of what it does just for clarification:
All voicelines ingame have an ID, Peace and Quiet simply prevents the IDs that you add from playing. This is entirely local to the game’s memory.
