I thought I'd give these a shot to save my ears. When I got them and put them in, I thought they weren't in all the way because I could still hear everything perfectly; nothing was muffled. They allow perfect hearing, but they block just enough noise so your ears don't get damaged at higher speeds. My only niggle is that they don't have different sizes, I would love a pair of smalls (I have tiny ear canals, and usually struggle with ear buds fitting etc). Do your ears a favor and pick these up.

These seem to reduce road noise as well as foam plugs but do not attenuate other sounds and there is none of the plugged up feeling. I will probably get some for workshop and yard care. (Posted on 4/14/2016)

After a week wearing these, I bought a pair for my best friend. Work very well - just have to turn my intercomm up to max to hear voice and music.

Some people wrote that the stubs were too short - what they did was insert plugs too deep in ears (like I did the first time). Do not need to insert deeply like with the foam plugs. Push tem in just deep enough not to fall out. (Posted on 2/3/2016)

I bought these about a month ago and have use them three or four times. They work excellent and you can hear the people talking around you but they do definitely cut out the noise . I would highly recommend them. Some other reviewers complained about them being a little short so they are hard to get out of your ears but if you don't put them in very far you don't have that problem you just have to be careful .

I've tried many earplugs. These are the only ones I can wear for 12+ hours without my ears hurting. I need to remove rubber foam el-cheapos after only about 4 hours. NoNoise works much better, and it's easier to clearly hear sound through the intercom. (Posted on 12/29/2015)

These things work great. You don't get as much of the blocked ear as with other plugs. The noise especially wind noise reduction is awesome, but you really need to insert them deep into the ear canal to get maximum benefit. It makes ridding my Ducati much more pleasant (Posted on 12/6/2015)

My first pair of NoNoise ear plugs were the clear color. I liked them very much. I used them so much they wore out. I ordered a pair of the orange colored ear plugs which turned out to better reduce the noise while riding even at 70 mph. I easily hear my Sena communication speakers with the plugs in even at road speed. I recommend these ear plugs very highly. (Posted on 11/30/2015)

The design of these does exactly what it says. However, in the instructions, it says that if you have larger ears, you may have difficulty removing them and actually go as far as stating you may want to carry tweezers with you. Really? Who is going to carry tweezers with them as a standard course of riding gear? They weren't kidding. I can't get them out without grabbing them with my Leatherman. While I'm a big guy, I don't have BIG ears...I would think rather standard ears, in fact. Great design but they need to make them longer so you can pull them out without needing a tool.

I had some TT points that were expiring so I ordered these based on reviews and feedback I've received from riders I know. I'm glad I didn't spend more than shipping (and I'd kinda like to get those $6 back).

I can confirm that conversations and music from my in-helmet headset are louder. However, so is everything else. Wind and exhaust noise are noticeably louder than my foamies (3M - 32 dB NRR)

The earplugs aren't comfortable in my ear canal, and no amount of adjustment seems to improve things. They just hurt. I'm not sure if it's the ceramic filter or something else, but they cause major discomfort. That's where the next issue arises...

Trying to remove these from my ears is almost impossible! The stems are both too short and too small in diameter. I nearly had to use needle-nose pliers to remove them, as I simple could not get a grip on them to remove easily.

For the price, I will just buy another 2 years worth of 3M foamies from Lowes and call it a day! (Posted on 8/16/2015)

I purchased these a month or so ago, have had the opportunity to get some hours of riding with them in. They perform just as advertised, tremendous sound suppression without the isolation from desired sounds. They also do not have the complete suppression of all sounds that you get from a normal ear plug. I'm very pleased with these: great hearing protection!
The container is also eminently practical; having it on my keychain makes them very hard to forget and leave behind (have done that too often with other ear plugs). (Posted on 8/1/2015)

I bought a set based on these reviews, but dropped them after about 20 minutes. Way too noisy. Much more noisy that my foam ear plugs, and I wasn't even up to highway speeds yet. One of my ear canals is a little larger, and I almost lost the piece in my ear! Took about 10 minutes to dig it out. (Posted on 6/28/2015)

I bought this item just before traveling on a long road trip and used them on the first leg of the trip, then I went back to the foam type plug. These plugs are good for low speed conditions and require you to push them in quite a bit. Another downside is that main channel is very short so it's hard to get them out. (Posted on 6/7/2015)

I have had the Nonoise for a couple of months but wanted to put some real continuous miles on before I gave you my opinion. Just back from a 900 mile trip. For wind noise these are the best best!!
Putting them in is most important: For me I really need to push them in the ear far! Enough so the pressure from my helmet does not cause pain to the little flap on my ear. I can hear my engine RPM and talking while stopped is ok, with helmet off no problem carrying on a conversation.
I found that using a pair of tweezers to remove is so much easier than my big club like fingers. I will be buying for both my sons, possily a good birthday present. (Posted on 5/27/2015)

I ride a BMW F800GS with a very short "mini" windshield so highway riding is always noisy. That said, wind noise did not seem to be much less than cheaper ear protectors. On the positive side, I could hear the motorcycle RPM just right which is often too muffled with other ear protectors. The case is a nice plus. I did not have any problem installing or removing the ear plugs. (Posted on 5/21/2015)

I got these for a trip from New Orleans to Columbus Ohio on a zx-14r. First lesson is don't use any lubricant to make it easier to insert, which caused them to constantly fall out. Once I learned to push them in dry, which takes a while, then boom, they stayed in. I could hear my helmet speakers clearly, the engine, and also the wind at a low hum. There definitely isn't that isolation that normal plugs do, but I could still feel them, unlike others reviewers who said they forgot they were there. Walking around with them in at gas stations was doable, but I had to listen intently to understand people, and having to ask them to repeat themselves. I do have narrow ear canals, so I also didn't have the issue of them going in too deep. I've had them a couple weeks since the trip and use them on my daily 70 mile commute to work. The case is awesome but not sure if I'd buy them again if I lost them or when they finally wear out. And that is my biggest issue. For $30 ear plugs, they don't feel like they are going to last long through this 2015 riding season. If they do then I'll buy again, but if they tear or deform in a few weeks of daily use, then back to $2 plugs at drug mart... (Posted on 5/14/2015)

Review by TheCopperOne

I debated buying a high priced set of ear plugs when my purple foamies work well and are cheap enough. However, based on reviews I read, I pulled the trigger. My opinion? Meh. I wouldn't buy them if I knew what I know now. They are not worth $30...but close.

Pros:
1. They are reusable. My foamies only go in my ears a few times before they get difficult to insert. The no noise plugs are reusable...and washable. They go in easy every time, but you have to be careful to get them in correctly.

2. I can hear other people talking to me. With my foamies, once they're in, forget about having a normal conversation with somebody. The no noise allow me to have a conversation with someone with my plugs in and helmet on. This is helpful when talking to a parking attendant or park ranger.

Cons:
1. They do not block out anymore wind noise than the foamies. The no noise plugs do seem to block more of the engine noise, but at highway speeds the wind noise is the same or worse than the foamies.

2. If you don't get them seated correctly when you put them in, they hurt. I have to concentrate on getting them inserted in my ear so they go in straight. They are not as soft and forgiving as foamies.

Overall:
Since I have them already, and my pros and cons cancel each other out, I'll keep them. I have returned items to Twisted Throttle with no problems in the past, so I know the process is not difficult...but I don't hate the no noise plugs enough to go through the process. Having said that, if I knew what I know now, I wouldn't have paid $30 for the plugs. I use the no noise if I'm in an urban environment, but for highway trips and trips of two or more days, I'll stick with the foamies. (Posted on 3/31/2015)

68 ys young. Riding honda vfr. Been riding bikes since 1962. These are not as effective as good old foam plugs from Walgreens. Only block maybe 75% of what I consider strictly bad wind noise. Did not try on my goldwing but its not noisy anyway. The vfr is very noisy. Lots of helmet buffeting etc. Guess its like a tourist trap that you know is just gonna take your money, but like a moth your forever enticed to the flame. (Posted on 3/25/2015)

I happened upon these at the IMS show in Miami, FL. I usually wear foam earplugs or a set of in-ear monitors so when I first tried these it seemed that they really didn't do anything. Well, after pulling them out and riding with no plugs I could tell there is a distinct difference. These are very effective at filtering out a specific noise range while still allowing you to hear music, conversations, and ambient noise.

If they were just a bit longer they'd get 5 stars! (Posted on 1/31/2015)

Used these on a recent one week trip along the gulf coast, alternating with foam plugs for comparison. Unlike others who said they were easy to insert, I had a tough time getting the 3rd cup inserted far enough to make a good seal. When the 3rd cup was not sealing they did not reduce the wind noise enough. When sealing they were close to the foam plugs in reducing wind noise. When in far enough to seal they were much more comfortable over a long period of time than the foam plugs and I even left them in at stops and could carry on a conversation. My wife would even ask me if I had them in. In that respect they work as advertised. Wetting them helped the insertion and by the end of the trip I used them exclusively. (Posted on 1/29/2015)

Let me start by saying as an audio systems designer that makes a living with my ears, I am a bit more picky than most when it comes to hearing protection.
That being said, they are comfortable with or without a helmet, easy to put in and take out, and allow nearly all frequencies to pass, just at a lower level. In other words,things sound normal, not muffled.
After an hour at highway speeds I do notice a difference, but not as much as the standard quality foam earplugs.
On a typical ride, back roads and such, they work great and allow me to hear things around me with less fatigue, but if I plan any significant time at highway speeds, i'll be using my foam plugs. (Posted on 1/1/2015)

Still getting to know these things. Hard to get in the ear easily and not yet sure if I have them in the ear correctly each time. I ride a BMW GS and when I correctly insert the little bugers, the sound is smart, with less wind nosie and not a "deadened" sound. Hard to get out. Easy to clean. Easy to store as cannister connects to ignition key ring. (Posted on 12/24/2014)

Ok, so these plugs are $30.....yeah, a bit on the pricey side, but they work! Unlike other plugs where they totally cram an object inside your ear canal and barely hear anything, these plugs have an inner tube that runs the length of the plug and allows just enough sound waves and air pressure to enter your ear and provide you with more than adequate sound protection.
Clean them in warm soapy water and they are good to go.
Yes, I carry foam ear plugs as spares for emergencies, like when I lost one of my NoNoise plugs at Deals Gap this fall!

When it comes to your hearing is $30 really all that much? Plus you get an nice metal container for storage.

I now have three sets of these ear protection plugs. Wish they had more color selection, but I am more than pleased with this product. (Posted on 12/23/2014)

As a returning motorcycle rider I was advised to begin wearing earplugs. This is something I am not used to doing. I have now worn these a few times. They do seem to function well in dampening noise. And one can still hear the essential sounds like sirens. Being unused to wearing earplugs it is taking me a while to get completely comfortable with them under a helmet, I wear either a full face or a modular type helmet so perhaps a half helmet would be more comfortable....?

Bought these to replace a pair of $150 prescription ear plugs I've been having difficulties with. Additionally, foam plugs were getting dislodged when I put my helmet on. These plugs work great. They seat easily, are comfortable, block out tons of wind noise and stay in place for hours at a time with no troubles whatsoever. I recommend them to anyone that values their hearing and doesn't want to pay for expensive custom plugs. Have already bought two pairs to give as gifts. (Posted on 12/15/2014)

I've had these for a several months and lots of rides and I am really pleased. They work as they say and gets rid of most of the wind noise, engine noise, and tire noise in busy freeway driving. That's really nice. Unfortunately, they don't seem to cut the noise from loud straight exhaust pipes. They also do a great job on helmet wind buffeting! I have been using a pair of custom injection molded plugs I had made at a bike show by an audiologist, but they actually are not as good. Those even can amplify helmet buffeting depending on the bike and helmet where these seem to universally kill buffeting. I also bought a pair of electronic noise cancellation ear buds and tried those before I got these, and they did not work at all for this use. They worked great on airplanes and around town, but they amplified buffeting and engine noise on a motorcycle like you wouldn't believe. It was a big disappointment. These allow you to hear voices and sirens, etc. They are very, very good and pretty comfortable too. Just make sure you put them somewhere safe when you take them out. They will roll off anything you put them down on faster than you can believe. They bounce with incredible velocity, and are almost impossible to see on a dirt road or shoulder because of the clear color! I spent 15 minutes looking for one once because I made the mistake of placing it "momentarily" on the seat while I took the other one out of my other ear. I liked them enough that I bought a second pair and shipped to my brother for his birthday. (Posted on 12/4/2014)

I was looking for a way to cut wind noise, but it was important that the insertion tab not be so long that it touched my helmet speakers. The NoNoise plugs worked just fine in that regard. But having ear plugs that virtually blend in with roadside gravel when dropped -- especially at $30 a pop -- is a show stopper for me. Having lost one plug, I'll not spend the money to replace them.

I also noted less fatigue after hours in the saddle on the twisties! Glad I had them (Posted on 12/1/2014)

I bought the "No Noise" earplugs about 8-10 months ago and they have worked quite well. I ride nearly every day and between the wind noise and the high midrange effect of my helmet they tame those sounds very well. The only thing that a few reviewers and myself found is that the tabs to pull them out of your ear are too short and hard to get the earplugs out. I carry a pair of needle nose pliers to extricate that particularly pesky right ear one. Mine are getting a little old and I will be purchasing a new set soon. Much better than those foam plugs that I couldn't manage to keep from moving in the ear and becoming ineffective. (Posted on 11/26/2014)

I wish I'd bought a pair of these years ago. I probably could have saved a lot of my hearing. One of my concerns about wearing earplugs while riding, though, has been whether or not I'd be able to hear my Sena intercom system through traditional earplugs. Enter the NoNoise. After hearing about them on a motorcycle forum I thought I'd try a pair. Was so happy with them I ordered a second pair for my wife, who rides her own bike and with whom I chat via our Sena units. We're both extremely happy. The only thing I'll say is it took a little getting used to for me. Initially I experienced a bit of discomfort in one ear, but that's pretty much gone away. Either I am now fitting the unit in my ear better, or I've simply adapted. But I've ridden several thousand miles now with the NoNoise in my ears in quiet comfort. The other thing - and the instructions that come with the plugs tell you this - occasionally you might need a pair of tweezers to get them OUT of your ears. I've had to do this a couple of times, but it's no big deal. Plus, I normally DON'T need tweezers.

As for using them with intercom units; that's a big YES! They work exactly as advertised. Road and wind noise is substantially reduced to an almost eerie quiet, but audio via your in-helmet com comes through very clearly. Love these and will buy another pair when this one wears out.

I have used ear plugs like this at work but they were solid and had a cord connecting them. They work well. These do not have any cords.
If I put them in so that they were easy to remove, far too much noise got around them but if I put them in so that they worked as described, they they then became hard to remove. Several times I had to use needle nose pliers to get them out. They really need to redesign with longer stems. (Posted on 10/15/2014)

I have been using molded silicone earplugs for a long time and was skeptical as to whether these earplugs would measure up. The "apparent" amount of wind noise would seem to be about the same. That's a positive! But what really surprised me is that the NoNoise plugs still allow other frequencies to be heard. It's kind of neat to be able to hear the engine etc. at interstate speeds when foam and the molded earplugs won't allow that.The only negative I can comment on is that they are a bit more difficult to position properly. Practice is taking care of that issue. Color me pleased/impressed! (Posted on 10/14/2014)

Ok, here's the deal. These plugs work. They block the white noise created by wind whistling through your helmet. Yet, they let you hear voices, no not the kind that tell you to do weird things, but those of your friends and fellow riders. And unlike those orange foam things that look geekiest sticking out of your ears these are barely noticeable. Gassing up, pop your helmet off, but leave them in and just walk in and pay the cashier. Cool. (Posted on 10/12/2014)

It may just be me, but I found these earplugs to be less effective than the cheap. throw-away foam type. The plugs were difficult to insert and hurt my ears after only twenty minutes of use.

Did these work as advertised, in a word, no, but one size does not fit all. Being a big guy, 6'5", and having been fitted for this type of plug in the past I walked into this knowing they may not fit properly, and they didn't. The seal I attained using these plugs seemed to amplify the wind noise, so much so, I shut off my Bluetooth headset due to the fact that I couldn't hear anything but the wind noise. If you are of average size, these may work, if not, you'd be better off with foam plugs. (Posted on 10/2/2014)

I read about the nonoise hearing protection in Motorcycle Consumer News, and I have tried all kinds of ear plugs in my search for effective hearing protection. I was particularly attracted because the review said I could still listen to music while the wind noise was greatly diminished. Really? So I spent the $$ to buy a pair, and I've used them while riding my Suzuki DR650 - great noise suppression - and on my BMW K1600GT and I could still hear the music. I'm very pleased!

I bought these just before a 2,000mi trip to and around the Smoky Mountains. They blocked the wind noise well. The CB750 exhaust note cut through on the highway though.
The only other complaint was that the rubber seal on the canister tore up and fell off on about the third opening. (Posted on 9/30/2014)

I used foam earplugs for years and they keep the noise out but they keep all the noise out. These earplugs significantly reduce the wind noise but do allow you to hear the other sounds. They are not as totally quiet as foam plugs but are a good compromise between no sound and being able to hear sounds on the road. (Posted on 9/29/2014)

I think it works well but I would prefer that the "handles" that you use to pull them out be somewhat longer because if you push them in just past the opening of the ear much, you need to have someone with needle nose to pull them back out. If you just push them in a little it works ok But that is the reason for three stars. (Posted on 9/25/2014)

I've never liked earplugs but my hearing is definitely getting worse so I thought I should give these a try after seeing an ad. I love the silence and hopefully can still hear sirens though I haven't really tested that yet. The case on my keyring is what really sold me. (Posted on 9/24/2014)

I bought these hoping to eliminate using foam plugs and have found them to work at roughly the same level as the foam ones when it comes to eliminating wind noise. I have a personal issue in that my ears produce lots of wax, so the clean up process takes more time than usual. Otherwise, I'm happy with their performance. (Posted on 9/22/2014)

So I thought for this kind of money I was going to be properly impressed, well, I tried them twice, got them seated, couldn't notice much difference, but gave them the benefit of the doubt and kept them in. When I went to remove them, I almost couldn't, they kept getting deeper and I was starting to wonder if I was going to need some help, but finally extracted them. OK, if they had cost $5 I would have pitched them right then, but stupid me I decided to give them a second chance and again I had a terrible time removing them. So I wasted a bunch of money on something that didn't make much difference and was miserable to remove. (Posted on 9/21/2014)

I can't tell if they work better than foam plugs or not. I ride a BMW R1200RT and I just don't notice a huge difference with the NoNoise plugs in allowing me to hear my phone or music. (Posted on 9/20/2014)

Have been using these on a daily basis for about the past 6 months. While initially impressed, I now have some reservations. Primarily, the material, while comfortable, compresses after this length of use,
meaning that they have to go deeper into the ear canal to be effective. This leads to the next issue which is that the extension used to remove them becomes harder to grasp (its rather short to begin with). And the main problem now is that this extension has split which makes them even harder to remove (tweezers were required today).
Also, if you already have a helmet that is noisy at highway speeds, these are less effective than ordinary plugs.
$30 seems like a lot of money for something that already needs replacing after less than a year of use. So, with reservations, I would recommend these to a friend, but not wholeheartedly. (Posted on 9/13/2014)

I love the fact that I can still hear the day to day sounds while keeping my hearing protected from the hi decibels. Unlike other foam plugs that block the hi decibels as well as the rest of all sounds, these allow you to hear intercoms, gps turn-by-turn, music and conversations at stop lights at a normal level.

The NoNoise ear plugs work great for filtering out the harmful noise; however, no matter what I did, I couldn't get them out of my ears. The pull tab is just too short for me to pull them out by myself. My wife finally was able to pull them out but she found it difficult. If you have average or larger ears, you'll most likely have a similar problem. (Posted on 9/4/2014)

I haven't worn for many miles yet, but they are comfortable and reduces the buffeting noise very well. The ends where you need to grab to install or remove are too short. I feel that I have to use caution when installing them be cause if they go in just a little too far you may not be able take them out without some help or use tweezers. You tend not to install them as far as they should go be cause of that fear. (Posted on 9/1/2014)

Was researching some reviews online about different earplugs and ran across these. They had mixed reviews but were mostly good so I decided to give the a try. After playing the order thru TwistedThrottle, I received them a few days later. After putting them on for my
45 min. commute, I found out that they did block a fair bit of wind noise but still allowed me to hear my music (I have in helmet speakers) and while going thru the security gate on base, I was still able to hear the guard talk to me. All in all I'd say its worth the price. And yes I did not have that under the water experience that I normally get with foam ear plugs. I did secute them wth rubber bands to act as pull strings to make it easier to take them off. Love the metal container and I have it on my Keychain to remind me to always put them on.

Have used this product now for a couple months both when riding my dual-sport and in my convertible. Initially seemed a bit uncomfortable. However they appear to be more compliant and comfortable with regular use and actually conforming or deforming to my ear canal. Had a fire truck pass me at a light the other day with full intersection sirens and horn. This would be very painful without ear protection. Though it was still loud my ears were not ringing afterward. The plugs were effective. I recommend cleaning each time with soap and water. Leave them out on a paper towel to dry a few hours before storing in the included container. Keep the container clean and dry too. The various other types of plugs I have reduce all noise making normal conversation difficult, especially my wife's voice. Not good. I can now leave the NoNoise plugs in and still talk to my wife without the use of hand signals. I always wear hearing protection when riding. (Posted on 8/14/2014)

Bought last weekend and on the ride home, it was like having nothing in my ears, that was a bad thing. Tried them again this time inserting further into ear canal, same result, no noise blockage, and needed tweezers to remove them from my ears. I was looking for something difference as I already wear custom plugs that are older and bulky, too bad, money down the drain so to speak. (Posted on 7/23/2014)

I received these the day before I was to do a six hundred mile day. I've never had ringing in my ears from any amount of noise. When I reached my destination and removed the ear plugs my ears were ringing. The return trip everything was the same except no ear plugs. At the end of the trip I had no ringing and no discomfort in my ears. (Posted on 7/17/2014)

I have tried several different brands of hearing protection but have gotton mixed results, from total isolation to did I forget to put them in. These worked as advertised and cut out the last of the rumble I would get from wind noise without sacrificing voice and traffic noise. Mind you I am using a Schuberth C3 Pro which is pretty quite to begin with, but this was "AHHHHH" bliss. The only down side is trying to remove them with sweaty fingers when it's hot, the stem could have been a tad longer. (Posted on 7/7/2014)

The NoNoise earplugs are comfortable, but they let in too much wind noise at highway speed. At 75 mph I could barely hear a semi right beside me. I returned the NoNoise plugs to Twisted Throttle and have gone back to using E.A.R. reusable plugs. (Posted on 7/7/2014)

These are the perfect solution for bikers to preserve their hearing. The reason I like them so much is that they seat themselves comfortably well into the ear canal, so when you put on your helmet, they stay in the way you inserted them -- unlike the first two brands I tried.
Take care to use the suggested method (on the box) of pulling your ear back just so when you pop them in. That way they stay in and feel right.
These cost quite a bit more than cheap foam plugs but they seem to be high quality that should last a long time. Lastly I like the nifty case that ships with each pair. (Posted on 7/7/2014)

I've had mine for several months now and feel like I lost a friend if I ride without them now. Fit well, the tab to remove is just long enough to remove the plugs but not too long that it rubs on the helmet interior. I use with my Sena which allows me to wear plugs and use the communication system without issues. Perfect item and recommend them to everyone. Oh, and the little aluminum canister is perfect to holding these between rides! (Posted on 7/7/2014)

Earplugs-
I hate earplugs. Not that they don’t work, and not because I know I should use them all the time. I hate that they are two small things I always forget to put in. As someone who is always trying to make good time riding, remembering about earplugs as I pull out of my driveway or as I pull away from a gas stop is just a bit too late. Having short term memory loss, well, that doesn’t help either. Why can’t the manufacturers make earplugs you leave in all the time, and just flip a switch when you want to block sound? Sort of like reverse hearing aids. Perhaps they could make them bigger then your ears, and brightly colored so we would never forget to put them in. How about making them harder to lose by making the pair a single piece instead of separate, like they did years ago to pants? Something I may work on after I make my first million from selling my amazing non-stick tape.

Another issue I have with earplugs is I seem to get worse fuel mileage when I wear them, I ride a bit longer in the saddle, and just between you and me, the voices in my head seem to scream at me louder. I wore a set of generic foam ear plugs on a recent long trip, and if I did managed to get them in equally, they only worked adequately to reduce the road and wind noise, but also my audio from my radar and GPS had to be at 100%, and even then it was hard to hear. A buzz from the engine seemed to get louder with the plugs in, and I was frequently checking to see if it was not some alternator whining noise. It wasn’t. Cheap earplugs are just cheap. I argued this point with the voices all the way home.

Years of riding motorcycles have clearly caused some listening and hearing problems for me, and one of my New Year’s resolutions was to ALWAYS wear earplugs, even if I was just going out for a couple hundred mile ride. I got a set of these NONOISE brand Motorsport precision tuned earplugs and got a chance to test them out on a recent morning commuting to work. I had worn them the day before while stacking firewood in the yard, as my neighbor was landscaping with his chainsaw again. The plugs seemed to work well. The trick would be remembering to insert them in the morning, before my helmet and gloves.

I decided to leave the house early and take the long way to work, about 100 miles extra - just because. I was so proud I remembered to insert the plugs, keeping them in my mouth before entering the garage was the trick. As I rode, I really thought there was something wrong with the earplugs; my motor seemed to howl and thud quite a bit different then normal. I was riding pretty spiritedly though, and it wasn’t till I got to work that I realized my exhaust really sounded odd. I found my Y-pipe had cracked in half, and removing my helmet and plugs, my exhaust was LOUD. The earplugs were doing their job and actually seemed to allow the right sounds in and noisy sounds out. I could hear my GPS and Radar beeps fine, while the whine that cheap earplugs created was nonexistent. I like these plugs so much, I wore them Sunday while taking a nap, and as my Grand Daughter wailed on some new musical instruments she got for her birthday, I slept like a baby with Nonoise. --Longhaulpaul (Posted on 7/7/2014)
