Understanding noise reduction

What does 27 dB of noise reduction mean?​

Loop Dream earplugs decrease noise by 27 dB, which means a significant reduction for many sounds, but won't eliminate noise entirely. Here's what you can expect:​

• Soft sounds like breathing, the hum of a fridge, or a dishwasher will most likely be inaudible.​
• Medium sounds such as a TV in another room, distant traffic, or a flushing toilet will be reduced to faint murmurs.​
• Loud sounds like sirens, a dog barking, or fireworks will still be audible, but at a much lower volume.​`

What about snoring?​

Snoring varies in volume. Softer snoring may be completely blocked out or barely heard, while louder snoring (which can reach up to 100 dB) will still be noticeable, although less intense.
