Activate Silent Mode Automatically with Do No Disturb?

Is it possible for the Do Not Disturb Focus to activate silent mode automatically? I have some contacts that I want to be able to reach me when I have do no disturb on. However, I ideally want these notifications to be silent. It does not seem like this is an option. The only thing you can do is allow or disallow contacts for being let through, not whether or not you want these contact’s notifications to make noise.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

No. This is not a feature of iOS, as of yet. It is pretty specific. So, recommend it to Apple...
