Hi guys, does this help block unwanted noise from the outside? Thanks.

It seals cold air but isn't designed to block noise. It might help a little

Not 100%. But it depends on the distance and noise level. I would say 80% of the noise is blocked. It is worth the price.

I'm not sure, I live on a busy street and no matter what I get street noise, but it does help with drafts.My double pane windows helped more.

It doesn't block out all sound, but it does block out most of it. I think it's because of the padding, not any kind of advanced technology.

no it doesn't block all the noise from a gun but it does a good job of muffling it. The sound from the gun through this earmuff is nowhere near as loud as it is without it. If someone is yelling at you from 2-3 feet away you cant hear them either.

Yes, it reduces all sounds, but you'll still hear 'em. It's a decibel drop, not a total sound blocker. It's just foam rubber in the right place (your ear). You WILL be able to hear people talk (unless, like the movies, they whisper for effect!).

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.

If my husband has the stereo too loud in the next room I can still hear the bass tones. This machine reduces noise but doesn't block out noise. I live on a busy street and it greatly reduces street noises.

No sir. We purchased this certain model - for my husband - and it has turned out to be very good at keeping out the noise, BUT when it comes to using the radio - it fades out / completely at times, quite a bit. Thus, he has an expensive pair of outside noise blockers.

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.

I'm not sure there is any way to effectively block out airplane engine noise as those engines vibrate everything and those vibrations are felt as much as heard. But I can tell you for certain that it's really effective at blocking out my 5 year old son's video gaming and my wife's requests for me to paint things or pick heavy things up to move them a few inches to the left... then to the right... then put them back down where they were to begin with.

It wont completely block out outside noise, i can usually hear people talking still but depending on the volume i'm using it may be indistinct. i work at a bakery where it is very loud all night long and i can usually hear it pretty well and can block out the annoying people i work with pretty well, but not entirely. Unless you turn it up super loud, your likely to still hear some voices. As for others hearing what your listening too, unless you turn it up really loud i don't think they will be able to.

no! do any block out ALL the noise of a gun? They reduce the noise to a comfortable level. For the money, they are excellent!

Not completely. I have not found anything that will do that as much as try to advertise! I wear them everynight because they do block most ambient sound i.e. fans, tv's down low.

Yes however, my neighbor's keep covering it because they can hear every setting volume across the street. Its not effective on the animals anyway. Only neighbor's.

I don't think it will stop all that type of noise. I'm sorry. Hope you can find a solution.

No. It will not block out the sound completely but it will muffle it (equivalent to holding a pillow over your ears).
