Thanks for the info Sarge. I have been riding with either noise isolation mp3 ear buds in,or a set of the non foamie ear plugs.The plastic ones with the rings,not sure what they are called. I prefer them over foam because they go in instantly and you dont have to wait for them to swell up. I wear ear protection constantly. I have a kickin set of ear muffs in the shop that my neighbors son brought me back from his first tour with the Marines. They are the ones he wore while loading bombs on the jets. And with all the big drills and jack hammers at work,not to mention years of driving a race car,going to the shooting range,shooting clays with buddies...im used to wearing ear plugs!lol I've never had any comfort issue with earplug,they were just a necessary evil so I went with it.
My main reason for wanting to try the DIY customs is to help my ear buds stay in better.I cannot find any that really fit nice and snug in my ear. Its hard to get the helmet on sometimes without knocking them out of my ear.So the putting a string in them will be my earbuds.
I'm not looking for 100% noise reduction. Just keep the wind noise from beating my ears to death.
I know alot of people say it is dangerous to ride with hearing protection (ride+ protection=dangerous
)but I dont see how a set of ear plugs that knock the noise down to a safe level is any more dangerous than riding in the new Buick with all the noise cancelling glass,door panels...
When you have 55-75 mph winds roaring inside your helmet and ears you cannot here your surroundings nearly as well as you might think. You cannot hear if there is a car beside you or not. Like I said,i just want to keep the noise level down to something safe and comfortable. Riding with earplugs make you about as "deaf to your surroundings" as riding with the windows up and the A/C roaring in your car. You hang your head out the window,I'll take my plugs out
Oh,and dont dare turn your radio on
You listen to music while you drive a car?!?!So dangerous!!! Sorry,i'm just getting tired of hearing the dangers and woes of riding with hearing protection or listening to music.A distraction is a distraction whether you are on 2 wheels or 4. Hey,I'm on 2 wheels running 75mph between two tractor trailers on the interstate...i'm obviously willing to take a risk and must not be too concerned with my safety in the first place.
