Is it usually when you go to do a "roll" with your finger? Like when you have to sweep 3 strings on same fret by flattening one finger?

that, and just "normal" fretting

Someone shared a video some time back, I thought it was this one but it's not. Here there's a camera angle. The other video was more sweep oriented, there's different ways and some could be preference.
Just seeing this video now

Thanks mate, although I feel like you picked a video with that thumbnail on purpose

 

[William B.]

Not, sorry I can't find the other one. Tired too
I'm not sure if this is the wrong video

I think that may have been me, and it was this video

yeah that one, i couldn't remember the title.

i was looking for it and found the one i posted, i thought the camera angle was good where it started
but that was just the picking hand

I would probably include the thickness of the string as a factor. I find it harder to deafen the strings with my left hand on my thicker gauged guitars than my regular slinky stringed guitar.

Thank you everyone. I have also looked at other videos at I think I have found my problem. I was taking my finger off the fretboard instead of unfretting the note and resting on the string which was making a bad pull off sound.

Will mark this as solution case anyone else has my problem

you could also mute with the right palm instead. neither is wrong and honestly a bit of both is often required. heres an example.
