Press the volume button (up or down), click the bell icon ??????. That's silent on every mode, be it none, priority, or all.
No, that is vibrate mode.

Oh I thought vibrate mode is also silent mode. That's how I like it though. Still giving notifs but SILENT.
None stops notifications from notifying you at all. You have to open the app to view them. Way different than silent.
I don't get this ’open the app" stuff. When I test None mode, I still get the various icons appearing in the notification bar {new email, SMS, WhatsApp, missed call, etc) - I just don't get the associated sounds or banner notifications on the sleep/lock screen.
I don't need to open the email app to see if I have new mail; I see the symbol in the notification bar. And if I pull down the shade, I see just as much detail as before.

Is your WhatsApp up-to-date?For the ones that were able to silent your notifications, did any of you test WhatsApp? My sounds for WhatsApp still go through, LED alert doesn't. Could you share your settings setup?

This gets me! I could have sworn that I didn't get any notification popups on the lock screen when I set my phone to None a couple of days ago. Now I've just tested it again, I do! The only difference I can think of is that I manually installed the latest Google Play service last night to try the "trusted locations" feature in Smart Lock. Can it have done that? Or have you always had notifications in the None mode? Or was I just daydreaming?I don't get this ’open the app" stuff.

Mine is now showing notifications as well so it is actually working like a true silent mode.
It was not working this way a few days ago

Could you do me a favour and check the version of the Google Play service app?
Settings --> Apps --> ALL --> Google Play services
Like I said above, I'm pretty sure I never saw any notifications in the None mode just a few days ago. The only difference I can think of is the version of the Google Play services app. Mine is now "6.5.85." Is yours the same, or is it older?
Not really because alarms will not sound.
Google is onto something with this but I think the current implementation is a swing and miss.
6.1.88

True, but if you set priority to always turn on at a certain time you do not have to worry about changing anything
The None mode isn't intended to do the exact same thing as the silent mode. Like mattopotamus says, you can use the Priority mode and disable everything if you want to hear the alarms but nothing else.
I use the none mode during meetings. It works perfectly by silencing everything. Otherwise, I use the priority mode at work when I don't want to be interrupted - in this case, calls and messages that I consider important will still audibly notify me, which is exactly what I want.But the "none mode" is seemingly worthless. When would you not want an alarm you set to go off? It is stupid and seems like a waste. If we could edit none like we can priority it would help.
