FAQs

How many decibels are Loop Earplugs quiet? ›

They have a noise reduction rating (SNR) of 24 & NRR 14 decibels and come in 6 stylish colors.

I just got my new Quiet 2 today and wanted to look at the differences. The Quiet 2 has a slightly thicker ring and a smaller nozzle. It's the same size on the outside, but slightly more filled out in the middle.

Loop Quiet

They also filter the most noise out of all of Loop's standard earplugs.

Noise reduction level

The main reason these earplugs work for me is that, interestingly, they're not noise-canceling, so they don't block out as much noise as you may expect in earbuds. I've tried several foam earplugs to fall asleep, but I was always turned off by just how much noise they actually block.

What Is a Good Noise Reduction Rating? Good NRRs reduce noise levels between 25% to 50%. Generally, you should opt for a device with an NRR of at least 30, especially if you're operating loud machinery or firearms.

In general, the louder the sound, the faster NIHL can develop. Sound is measured in units called decibels. Sounds at or below 70 A-weighted decibels (dBA) are generally safe. Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss.

By blocking out up to 24 dB of noise, Loop Quiet helps you fall (and stay) asleep with ease. And because they're made from hypoallergenic flexible silicone, they offer all-night comfort, even for side sleepers!

They do block out a considerable amount of noise - this works really well for my needs as the noise is on the other side of the wall. I can still hear my alarm and radio alarm although they also take the sting out of the annoying alarm ring and make it a lot more gentle to wake up, which I like.

Quiet - The earplugs for sleep

The Quiets focus on reducing ALL frequency sounds (63 Hz to 8000 Hz, no info on anything below or above that range). Unlike the Engage or Experience, the loops have no filter so they reduce all sounds almost equally, though there is a slight bias towards the higher frequencies.

Discover the perfect earplugs for concerts! Loop Experience offers clear sound without the loudness, while Loop Quiet provides a sleep-friendly design. Protect your ears and enjoy every moment. Perfect for loud live events, concerts, festivals, and intense workouts.

What can I use instead of Loop Earplugs? ›

Unlike regular ear plugs such as the Loop which simply lower the volume of sound, Flare Calmer changes the way sound enters the ear altogether. In effect, the sharp or 'pointy' bits are rounded off, making otherwise stressful, trigger or distracting sounds much more manageable.

Why Loop Earplugs for snoring are your best option. Loop Quiet earplugs offer up to 24 decibels (SNR) and 14 dB (NRR) of noise reduction. That means that even the loudest snoring will be reduced to a tolerable level, making it easier for you to fall asleep – and stay asleep through the night.

For example, Quiet offers an impressive 26 dB (SNR) for things like sleep and focus.

Loop Engage are great for taking off the edge

The Engage earplugs offer the lightest noise reduction you'll find in Loop's line of products, but that's for good reason: they're meant to be used when all you want to do is take the edge off, while still being able to listen to a conversation and sounds closest to you.

How long do Loop earplugs last? All Loop earplugs are designed to provide daily support for up to 5 years.

Most earplugs reduce sound by 10-30 dB. Common earplug protection levels include 15, 20 and 25 dB. Earplugs do it in different ways though. Some are designed to reduce steady background noise, some mask all noise, some filter sound and still others are designed to protect against sharp bursts.

Sound is measured in units called decibels. Sounds at or below 70 A-weighted decibels (dBA), even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss. However, long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss.

That said, appliances with a dBA rating of 38-40 dBA are considered to be silent. Which means you won't hear it over your conversation and other background noise.

If you're looking for earplugs with the highest NRR out there, you're going to top out around 33 dB. For most use cases, that's enough, but it won't reduce very loud noise — like gunfire, heavy machinery, or explosions — to safe exposure levels.
