Noise reduction earplugs for travel
You want to get your day off to a good start. But the high-pitched screech of the subway train is setting you on edge. Or how about the person sitting behind you playing music – without wearing any headphones? Bet they’re getting on your nerves. Or maybe you feel overwhelmed by the general hustle and bustle of traveling.
No matter where you’re going, or whether you’re going there by road, rail, bus or air, traveling can be stressful, anxiety-inducing – and noisy.
But you don’t have to suffer through it. There is an easy solution to your traveling woes: earplugs for travel.
Why are earplugs essential for traveling?
Bright lights. Noisy passengers and vehicles. Smells you have no control over. People brushing up against you. Traveling – whether you’re on public transport or in a car – can be a sensory nightmare. Especially if you have autism, ADHD, are sensitive to noise or have other sensory sensitivities.
Plus, traveling can be loud. Motorcycle rider? The engine can reach 166 decibels – and the sound of the wind can be as loud as 100 decibels. Flying? During take off and landing, the plane can be as loud as 105 dB, and noise in the cabin sits at around 85 dB when you’re in the air.
Some London Underground routes are as loud as a rock concert (110 dB). And the NYC subway is even louder, hitting noise levels as loud as 120 decibels.
To block out all those sounds, you might be tempted to turn up the music on your earbuds, drown out the background noise, and lose yourself in your tunes. But that can hurt your ears even more.
The solution to your commuting woes? Travel earplugs, made to take the stress out of traveling. They’ll reduce the volume to a safer level, let you get some peace and quiet, and take the edge off if you feel overwhelmed.

What makes Loop Earplugs ideal for traveling?
The best earplugs for travel are designed with comfort and safety in mind – like Loop.
Want some peace and quiet so you can get to sleep while you’re traveling? Try Loop Quiet, which offer up to 27 decibels of noise reduction, to bring those irritating noises to a more tolerable level – so you arrive at your destination feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Want to hear conversations while protecting your hearing and reducing overwhelming noises? Try Loop Engage and Loop Experience, which reduce noise levels by 16 dB and 18 dB respectively. Or, with Engage Plus or Experience Plus, you can reduce the volume by a further 5 decibels for even more protection. That means you can tune out announcements, background music, engine sounds and other people’s chattering – while still being able to hear clearly enough to communicate when you want to.
All of our earplugs are designed to be seriously comfortable, so you can wear them for the duration of your journey. They come with a choice of ear tip sizes so you can find your perfect fit, and the tips are made from super soft silicone for all-day comfort. So even when you’re squashed like a sardine inside a subway carriage, you don’t need to worry about them falling out.
Plus, because they’re made from silicone rather than traditional foam, they’re reusable. You can wear them again and again for other events, concerts and as a tool to help your concentration. Just pop them in their handy carry case to pull out whenever you need them.

Frequently asked questions
Can earplugs help with travel-related issues such as motion sickness or vertigo?
Motion sickness is caused by conflicting sensory signals received by the brain from the eyes and inner ear. Although travel earplugs aren’t designed for motion sickness, some people find that they help alleviate their symptoms as they reduce sensory overwhelm by limiting external noise and creating a quieter environment.
What methods of transport are Loop earplugs suitable for use on?
Whatever method of transport you’re using, you can wear earplugs for a more comfortable, quieter experience. If you’re driving, try using Loop Experience or Engage earplugs so you can still hear everything that’s happening around you – just at a lower level.
Can I use the same earplugs for travel that I use at home or at work?
Yes, all of Loop’s earplugs are reusable, so you can wear the same earplugs for travel as you do at home or work. Simply pick the ones that suit your needs and offer your desired level of noise reduction.
How do earplugs help in reducing travel-related stress and fatigue?
Earplugs reduce external noise, creating a quieter environment. This can help to reduce sensory overload, meaning your journey is less stressful and more enjoyable. Constant sensory stimulation can quickly lead to fatigue, so wearing earplugs may help you to feel less tired, too.
Can I sleep comfortably with earplugs during long-haul flights or train rides?
If you want to sleep with your earplugs in, try Loop Quiet. They’re made from soft silicone and offer up to 27 decibels of noise reduction, so you can fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer.
Can I wear earplugs continuously while traveling, or should they be worn intermittently?
Our earplugs are designed to be comfortable for all-day and all-night wear, so you can wear them for the full length of your journey without any issues.
