Not really thats why i bought these to dull the sound of neighbours playing loud music...they won't work alone but if you buy some of the cheap orange ear plugs and use it along with this it will work

I wouldnt be able to say for sure; I know firearms are a low muffle even firing at an indoor range. Sorry I cant help more!

If you're in your room with the door closed, definitely. If you're in the same room as your roommate as he's shooting and playing music, you'll barely be able to hear it if you concentrate your hearing to hear it.

It's pretty loud. I have thin walls and I always have my tv or radio on when my roommate is home. She has never said anything about the sound, but I still like to be careful.

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!

I don't believe so (don't recall seeing a mute button). What are you trying to do?

It doesn't totally block out all sounds, but it does mute it greatly enough that you can get work done. I use these for work also, in a very noisy office.

Well if you live with room-mates who would prefer some peace of mind this is what you might be aiming for but if you like your music really loud, you'd be better off looking for something more powerful. This worked for me and is plenty loud.

Speaking from personal experience, the answer is no. I've played music as loud as the volume will go, and it did not block out loud talkers.

Hi Marilyn BI do not know if they will totaly block out the shrill screaming. I will say that I use mine around wood working power equipment and they greatly reduce the sound they do not block it all out. Bill

Yes. Low quality products will do that. Don't waste your time. Its pretty annoying, you can't really listen to music. Connecting two will only make that worse.

Nope. The screen is like a vinyl sheet and not porous so the sound will be blocked.

Unless you are playing your music incredibly loud others in the room should not be able hear what you are listening to. My wife says she cannot hear anything I am listening to.

The only solution i found was to put a bit of electrical tape on the holes on the top of the unit, it muffles the sound a bit. But it is still too loud for my tastes.

These block out ambient noises extremely well. But, you can still hear people talking which to me, is a good thing. As far as annoying others... I don't think you'll have a problem with that. It, of course would depend on how loud you have them. When I am sitting next to my husband, I cannot hear them when he is listening to his music through them. I am fairly sensitive to that, especially when I'm listening to something else and I don't want to hear his music. Hope that helps.

not likely. Some work to reduce or block certain types of noise. Such as airplane engine noise, but not loud music.

No it's not. The best solution is to get a pair of cheap powered speakers and connect those to the unit. You can hear our unit over our music even when we have it cranking

Not sure - I have the 16" fan. It's not that quiet but I don't think loud enough to block out a barking dog. I would consider sound proof head set or simple ear plugs - that's what I use to block out my neighbors loud music. Good Luck.

Definitely not if they are behind a wall. Even if it is thin. There is plenty of sound leakage, but if they are not in the same room I cannot imagine they would be able to hear it.
