What level of sound reduction is offered by this product? Often this is given in NRR (noise reduction rating).

I didn't try mine for very long because the sound is very fuzzy and confusing. While it did increase the volume, it made everything less clear and understandable. It did that to everything. This product is intended to increase sound, not decrease it.

As stated from some other reviewer these are for amplifying sound not decreasing it. Mine fell apart in 4 days!

I was under the impression that it could do 12-16 db reduction based on reading about it. Those numbers are in perfect testing environments most likely. This product might do more for vibration then sound, probably best used as a floor underpayment. I used mine on a wall. Id say actual db reduction is minimal, 1-6 db.

I don't have a decibel rating, but it is comparable to an average dehumidifier. Not bad, but I wouldn't like talking on the phone right next to one.

I don't know the decibel rating...but I personally have no issue with the noise it creates. It's no more or less than any other cutting tool I use.

Hi, Veronica. I cannot give you the technical noise reduction range. But, in my opinion these ear plugs work really well but you MUST follow the directions for proper insertion. They do not totally cancel out the noise from my husband's snoring but he's REALLY loud and these plugs reduce the noise such that I barely notice it. They allow me to get to sleep and even when I wake up in the night, I do not notice the snoring. They do, however, allow me to still hear my iPhone's alarm clock but I do have it on the night table right next to my pillow. As an aside, my husband's radio alarm is set to raucous music and he turns it up so loud that it jars me awake so badly that I'm in a foul mood. These ear plugs deaden that sound such that awaking is MUCH gentler. You should definitely give these a try. They are the ONLY ones I've found to give me relief from the noise. They even reduce the noise fatigue from airplane engine noise on long flights. I also ride a motorcycle and am thinking about trying them for long rides as the engine and wind noise can be very fatiguing as well. Hope this info helps.

I would have to say it eliminates most background noise. Of course there are some things that are loud nearby that get in the way of what/who you are listening to. Overall it does a good job of keeping out unwanted noise. Hope this helps.

Hi. Went looking for the answer and found this. What do "sones" refer to in exhaust fan sound ratings? If nearly silent is 0.9, how loud is a 4? Answer: That is a great question. I had to do a little research on this. A sone is a measurement of sound in terms of the comfortable hearing level for the average listener. The lower the sone value, the more comfortable the listening environment will be. For your question, a 4-sone rating is about four times a loud as a 0.9 (~1) sone rating. Sones are not decibels or volume, but rather how sound is sensed. Sones are a linear measurement, like inches. Doubling the sone value is equivalent to doubling the loudness (i.e. one to two, two to four is doubling the sound level twice). Your 4-sone fan will be more than four times a noisy as a 0.9 sone fan. One sone is equivalent to the sound of a quiet refrigerator in a quiet kitchen. Typically, the sone level is measured at maximum cubic feet per minute (speed), however some newer products are also being tested at normal CFM settings to provide consumers with typical sound level information. I searched but was unable to find audio files with different rated sones. Stephen

I don't know how I can quantify the noise of it for you. If I tell you I don't find the need for ear protectors, that doesn't tell you much.

Sorry I don't know. I purchased for resale and the customer has not mentioned any excessive noise

The owner's manual states that the noise rating is 58.5 db at the highest speed (turbo). It's much lower in "normal" mode.

Don't know if I can explain the actual level of noise without some type of measuring device, but as engine noise goes this is better ( quieter) than most others. When we have used this in the past, the noise is barely noticeable from inside the house.

I am really happy with the TEKK WorkTunes noise reduction. My shopvac has a really high pitched whine that they really reduce and with my MP3 player I can hear my music well. Buy one, save the packaging and send it back if it does not meet your requirements.

This Sony MDR1RNC noise canceling feature are designed to reduce ambient noise and reproduce high quality sound. It reduce most of the outside noise that cannot be eliminated by just covering the ears. However, this function is effective in low frequency range like trains, airplanes, air condition noise, etc. and is not as effective for higher frequencies such as human voice. Ely

Please contact us to discuss... noise levels are so hard to interpret when not in actual application. DanCSH989-723-8985

i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

It reduces the noise somewhat. I only covered a door but I figure it you use it over a larger area you will have silence

Mostly because of the cost, but also, because this product, like Dynomat, is a vibration dampener rather than a sound absorber. The way I figured it, if one layer of 50 mil didn't do the job, I'd put on another layer over top of the first one. Turns out, one layer does just fine. I won't do a full review here in the responses, but this is good stuff.
