My dad is constantly working right next to a wheel saw machine, will this ear plugs help to protect him from the loud noise?

I think it could reduce the noise a lot. The other morning I was sleeping wearing these ear plugs, and I guess someone just accidentally triggered the fire alarm in the building. Usually, one can hardly stand the extreme harsh sound if he stays in the room, but that day my first reaction was the alarm was not in my building.

I tried having them in my ears while standing next to a wheel grinder machine at work. When in use I thought it might make a similar racket. Anyway, the earplugs dulled the "high end" whine and some of the loud rattling sound. So, I guess it couldn't hurt for him to wear them to protect his hearing. Might not seem like much of a difference as far as volume, but the disruptive aspects of the noise were cut considerably.

You should invest in noise cancelling headphones. These headphones isolate noise very well but they don't cancel out loud noises. I have used them to drown out highway noise at my office. I'm not sure how effective they would be at muting a jack hammer or bulldozers.

I'd say don't waste your money. These don't fit well and therefore won't block noise well. You would be better off buying silicone accordion style earplugs like those used in industrial/factory settings. As least you can get those to fit tightly in the ear canal and are easy to remove.

Mine is in a free-standing workshop and I do use earmuffs when it's running. It is not as loud as some but any of these systems might wake your kids two floors up.

Will block voices at that distance, but will not completely block deeper sounds like explosions, revving engines, etc. unless you crank the music to really loud levels that might damage your hearing. Try good ear buds instead - they're better at blocking loud low frequency ambient noise.

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 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.

Yes. Yes. They don't "lower" noise too much, but they do mute the brightness of sound somewhat--I don't know that any type of ear plug would not do so. Yes.

To a point yes. I used them on a family trip to disney and my parents snore LOUD like lawn mowers. The plugs helped big time but you can just faintly hear things. Nothing will block out sound 100% really

Hi, These ear plugs are meant to reduce the decibel levels by 29 dBA. So if you were working in an environment of 100 db the effective sound level at your ears would be 71 dBA. BUT according to OSHA you shouldn't assume the maximum amount of reduction, they say as a safe rule of thumb that you should consider the reduction to be only 50% of the listed reduction. So in the case of these ear plugs where the dBA is 29 according to OSHA you should consider them to be good for only 15 dBA. So to go back to your question, of course they would work in a 29 to 32 dBA environment. To give you an idea what sounds are at what dBA's - 20 dBA is Whispers or rustling leaves, 40 dBA is a Library, 60 dBA is typical office conversations, 80 dBA is a Garbage Disposal running or a Dishwasher, 90 dBA is a Food Blender or Busy Street, 100 dBA is a Jackhammer, Power Mower, an Outboard Motor on a boat, 120 dBA is Live Rock Music or a Chain Saw. Hope this helps...

I got these for my dad to use because my mom snores, and he says they work great. These are among the best and highest rated earplugs around. They should work fairly well, or else nothing really will.

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

They will muffle the sound without ear plugs well, playing music will drown out everything around you. No earplugs needed.

Not really.. for general noise you would be better served with earplugs. This is for having regular hearing but drowning out sudden noises.

Definitely not. If you're relatively close you will still hear it. Any earplug will only produce a REDUCTION in decibels, because any loud sound will travel through your skull to your auditory canal anyway, even if you put your fingers in your ears. The description says NRR33, which I take it means a 33-decibel reduction, which is substantial. I use these to sleep at night and they are the best I have ever used.

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job
