Behind where I live they are building a 2 story house. The construction noise is devastating. Will these give me silence-- stop noise?

If you want to stop the noise, get a pair of over the head sound blockers. I don't have the name right in front of me, however, search Amazon for them. I use a pair when mowing the grass and it reduces the noise tremendously. I can put them on and not hear the heat pump operating from about 25 feet away. These are best for music or concerts where you want to hear the music, but not be blasted away and have ringing in the ears.

In my experience, these are less for totally blocking out noise and more for attenuating / reducing the damage caused by extremely high noise levels. These and earplugs like Downbeats are designed to let a safe level of noise through at concerts. You might be better off looking for something designed to totally block all noise.

I don't think so. These are designed to reduce the impact of loud music, but still allow you to "talk" to the person next to you at a concert. I think you will need ear plugs that are designed to block out all noise, not just certain frequencies and volumes.

Dear Mark, thanks for your question. These earplugs are not designed to completely cut out sounds but retain the sounds that are in the healthy range for our ears so that we still can hear music or conversations without damaging our ears in places with very loud noises. I am not sure if is what you are looking for. If you wanted complete silence then maybe an active noise cancellation earplugs or foam earplugs should work.

these speakers get very loud. i have never tried them outside, but i am almost positive they will be loud enough. in my bedroom they dotn go past 25 percent - as that is plenty loud enough.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

A lot of sound will be eliminated from wearing these headphones because these fit in the ears so well; if you need total silence, I would recommend Bose headphones, but if you are looking for a more alternate and cheaper solution than Bose, choose these, they will keep almost everything out, as long as you aren't around a lot of extremely loud things. I just used my leaf blower around the yard with these on and didn't have them going full blast to block out the sound (maybe a bit above halfway), that for me is good enough.

No, these will not help you. You can hear everything around, little to no protection at all. I bought 3 sets for same reasons. Try another product.

They do well at blocking out a good bit noise . Depends on the level of construction going on.

It will help. You'd need some serious insulation to block all noise. I'd call this a noise reducer.. You would need a LOT of this to block all noise, not to mention it would have to cover every wall.

first, you need to ask yourself how much noise you make. If you make a lot of noise, the you need to get the thickest panels available. These panels will help with keeping the noise down, but you need to make sure that they cover ALL of your ceiling. Good luck!

They do not really quiet down the pipes that much at all, if the noise is a concern u should get different pipes all together

I put them on and had my husband speak quietly to me. Heard him fine. So, no noise blocking. Ear plugs will probably be your best bet.

NIKKI, these will help limit the bass from bouncing around your unit but it won't keep the sound out of your unit. For that, you need some serious insulation in the ceiling or walls you share. To really limit how much bass you hear from an adjoining unit is very hard without spending a lot of $$$ , as the low frequencies cause vibration in the structural framing, which tends to amplify the bass vibrations. That's why you also feel the bass in your floor and walls, not just hear it.Insulation will help but it won't eliminate it. Might be cheaper to buy noise canceling headphones or pay for music lessons so the quality of the bass playing improves! Reminds me of "Neighbors" by the Rolling Stones! Good luck!

Yes, they do make noise. You can hear a buzzing noise but you can only hear it if you are near it. It definitely would not disturb your neighbors.

These are made to stop mechanical vibrations such as those from a compressor or generator, so I doubt they would be soft enough to stop the more subtle vibrations you are describing.

yes they will plus these really work. We have a washing machine that would move inches every time the drum would turn in high speed. Rattling and shaking around on a stone tile floor.Ever since I have put the silent feet under it it has not moved at all and yes it is tons quieter than before.

No. They're closed back, so the sound is mostly muffled to an outside listener. They'll hear something if you have it loud enough. But they're mostly isolated.

I tried them while mowing the lawn, and I found they didn't really do much when turned on. These are designed to suppress sound over 85db, and amplify sound lower than that. If your mower doesn't produce sound higher than 85db and/or produces a lot noise lower than 85db, these aren't going to do much to to dampen the noise. Now, if you turn them off, the padding def. makes a difference. But YMMV if you're wanting to listen to music while mowing.

No. These are noise dampening only, check out the PXC 460 model for true noise cancellation.
