Only downside is that if the fire alarm goes off you may not hear it.

Just a thought and a safety issue.. :wink:

Felix, Mr M and co., you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves for keeping people awake! :lol:

You can sure tell who lives in the suburbs around here. I have been living in city centre hotels for the last five months only to fully realise and verify this difference between the two. Most of us have been living in the suburbs for so long that we find the quiet not only natural, but some even expect and demand it. But that will never happen in the city. The city remains alive long after the country and suburbs have nodded off. It’s the price we pay for proximity. At least for now. :wink:

A very valid point Allen and safety issues such as that should never be taken lightly or disregarded...and as my reply was more in jest, I am not advising anyone to do anything..it's all up to the individual.. :wink:

However, from a personal point of view, the ones I mostly use 'MusicSafe Pro' are attenuating earplugs, that do not try and totally block sound, like solid earplugs do. They reduce overall sound level, but in a very balanced way, with three different filters offering different levels of protection..a little like having volume control, with balance and clarity, instead of full-on mute...The white filter offers low-level protection from background noise, such as street/ambient noise etc and I have found ideal..and I can still hear my alarm clock in my room, so I'm sure I would hear a fire alarm :wink:

...however, it may be different for other people....Silver filter for gigs....Gold for band practice/performing...

Besides, I always sleep with one eye open.. :shock:
