Bombs in my ears

Hi, bluemoonpavilion. It is hard to shut out any outside noise especially when you have no choice but to be around it. Do you live in the city? I know that hearing loud noise is the norm in the city limits and regions. The only thing that you can do is block the noise by not fully concentrating on it. And you can always try buying some ear plugs. Maybe that can help block out some of the outstanding noise.

I agree!! it is very annoying hearing those unwanted sounds when you are riding. Upsetting to see this people not shutting off their phones on trains, buses and any public transport. I consider it, RUDE when people are inconsiderate to the feelings of others. I just pretend that I don't hear nor see them. Annoying...

hi bluemoonpavilion I do so agree.I hate having to listen to some one else talking so louldy all can hear, and even quarreling or a boss talking to an employee and really yelling abuse at him or her. Why cannot p;eople leave that til they get off the subway for goodness sakes? Don't people carry about not being rude anymore? I just do not understand the need for people on cell phones sharing their private affairs with strangers.

Yes! The bombs in my ears, very irritating! If I could I would just cover my ears with my hands. And I would usually find others doing the same which must have meant that it must have been a really loud sound. If there is one sound that really bothers me is the sound of a motorbike which could go at 50 but someone wanted it to go at 100 kph.

Maybe the subways in Singapore are not crowded enough I take subways or buses in Beijing very often, and I find something interesting: Usually the empty trains and the crowded ones are felt more quiet. The reason of quiet in empty train is obvious. But why the crowded ones are quiet too? Maybe because people are suffering by crowd too much and have no effort to make noise... But generally, I'm satisfied with the noise level in public transport of China.

Unfortunatly i belvive that aslong as technology advances, so will the sound level. When i think of noise i see it as a chain reaction. Say the guy thats sitting nex to you is listening to his ipod realy loudly. This is going to cause your conversation to grow louder inorder for the person sitting next to you to hear you. This will happen to all the conversations in the room. Not to mention the person with the ipod is listening to it at an even higher volume because of the noise pollusion that he created in the first place. When i realy think about it, their isnt a singe place you arn't going to encounter noise of some kind. Yes its annoying but its just another part of life.

I doubt it will happen any time soon in the United States. Too many people who think playing their violent trash on public transportation, claiming they are expressing their culture or some other nonsense. One time I put on some noise-reduction headphones on when omen had their music on. From behind they shoved their device in my face and danced. I really wonder if they are so developmentally challenged they can't see why people show little respect to them.
