    Can’t wait for people with these to talk on speakerphone in public (or just play their music at max volume)

    On the other hand I wonder if “600% higher” is just 8.5 dB louder. (700% total) - which isn’t nothing, but “In general, to measure loudness, a sound must be increased by 10 dB to be perceived as twice as loud.”

      Yeah, as someone who uses public transport having the noise nuisances get 600% louder really doesn’t sound too great.

        Sometimes I wear headphones/earbuds without the music on, just to drown at the noise.

        Get ones that isolate noise well.

          Hahaha this, I have ANC headphones and I always have them on, rarely any music.

          In the past with my in-ear buds I would always listen to some random stuff just to get rid of that noise, which makes no sense and left me mentally exhausted
