Is 12 decibel noise reduction good for concerts and jamming at high noise levels?

Author: admin Category: Noise Reduction


Any noise reduction is good, but 12 dB is not that great, given the extremely high levels at a lot of rock concerts.

a rock concert varies from 110 to 140 dB, and sounds louder than 80 decibels are considered potentially dangerous.

so 12 dB reduction reduces that 110 to 140 to 98 to 128, still dangerous and can cause hearing damage.
