ugh, here comes the loud HEY I'M ON THE PLANE. LOOK AT ME I'M TRAVELING. %NAME OF CABIN CLASS% %BRAG ABOUT DESTINATION%. This might actually be annoying enough to convert people to other transport modes (that or everybody will end up forking out for Bose 700s)
- sebzim4500 4y agoWhat other transport modes exist that don't share this problem?
- jdavis703 4y agoThe “quiet car” on medium-haul passenger rail routes (e.g. Acela in the US.) or a sleeper car on long-haul rail or a first class “private room” on airlines like Emirates.
- tinus_hn 4y agoIn the Netherlands the quiet car is the worst because all you hear is the antisocial people ignoring the signs. At least in the other cars they are drowned out by the normal people.

- maest 4y agoThis does not somehow make it okay to introduce more suffering for this particular mode of transportaion.
- gardenfelder 4y agoMy experience with noise cancelling headsets has been that they are great for background airplane noise, and not so good with screaming babies and their parents rattling banter. It seems unlikely that we are going to be protected from people on their cell phones.
- williamscales 4y agoI like to use noise cancelling headphones over earplugs. It seems to work fairly well for me.
- ant6n 4y agoI use both at the same time.
- williamscales 4y agoThat's what I was trying to say but I can see how my comment was ambiguous.
- rjh29 4y agoThe latest headsets are quite adequate at cancelling out voices, especially if you are playing music (or just white noise).
- bagels 4y agoWe already put up with screaming children and communicable diseases to fly because the utility is so high. Hard to imagine switching over annoying phone calls. Not only that, but you have the same problem on busses and trains.

- LAC-Tech 4y agoI'd gladly convert to other transport modes, but somehow I don't think a 2100km high speed rail line over the sea is going to happen any time soon.
