Ear plugs and noise-canceling headphones (Bose QuietComfort for example) work really really well.
Turn up the music/white noise to get past the ear plugs just a little bit.
No sounds get past this.
- johansch 13y agoIt gets quite tiring to blast high volume music or white noise for long periods. (And the noise-cancelling is utterly useless for screams.)
- stephengillie 13y agoWhy is noise canceling useless for screams?
- nagrom 13y agoNoise cancellation tech works best for low-pitched constant-ish sounds, like the airplane engines, or noise from a fan. Noise cancellation doesn't work well on higher-pitched, oscillating sounds, like screaming or voices. This is probably why the grand-old parent recommends earplugs in addition.
- ericHosick 13y ago> This is probably why the grand-old parent recommends earplugs in addition. Ya. Exactly. The noise cancellation works great to remove the engine noise. But as soon as you turn them on, high-pitch sounds become a lot more apparent. Earplugs help alleviate that.
