Noise levels are measured in decibels (dBA). Most people talk at about 70 decibels. Decibels are measured on a scale like the one for earthquakes -- so when the decibels go up a little the noise goes up a lot. For example 73 decibels is twice as loud as 70.

Product Information
These soft, bullet-shaped ear plugs couple a superior noise reduction ability (NRR 31) with excellent comfort for a top-performing ear plug combination. Easily rolled and inserted in the ear canal, these plugs expand for a low-pressure fit.
These plugs come with a convenient carrying case, adding a storage ability that helps ensure that the plugs are available when needed. The convenient storage case can be attached directly to noise generating devises (eg. the handle of a lawnmower, etc.) to help keep the plugs clean and ready for their next use.
