Someone gave me these orange foam plugs. They seem to cut 12-15 dB, or cut
down the sound less than 1/2 . Ok for cutting the lawn, but hardly enough
to eliminate sounds. Open cell foam, so you don't screw up.

If they cut the sound by 12 to 25 dB that is about 10 to 300 times. 3 dB
will cut the sound in half.
the dB is a log scale.
