Captain Nowhere Keep it Down

Everyone enjoys their own type of music. For some it’s Rap and
Hip Hop, others may enjoy Techno or Heavy Metal, and some
enjoy Country or one of the other various types of music out
there. The point is, that while we may like our own music often
times we don’t care for an others. The guy listening to Dr. Dre and
Snoop isn’t likely to dig Celine Dion. When you listen to your music
on a plane volume can make all the difference. Try to keep your
music at a reasonable level. Blaring music through your
headphones is rude and inconsiderate. The eighty year old woman
next you probably doesn’t want to hear Slipknot growling out
rough verses. The unaccompanied minor probably shouldn’t step
off the plane knowing the lyrics to any song by 2 Live Crew thanks
to you.

Keep the volume low enough to enjoy it without broadcasting
three rows back. There is a considerable amount of background
noise in an aircraft cabin. There will be people talking, children
crying, and jet engines. Some say that the music needs to be loud
enough to block out all these things. This is not a good solution. If
you would like to enjoy your music and not the flight attendants
chatter you need to have noise cancelling headphones. These will
knock out all the noises you hear and allow you to enjoy your
music at a reasonable level. These types of headphones can phase
out the noise of the jet engines. Listening to the low level noise
from the jet engines for a couple of hours can be very fatiguing.
Enjoy your music and let others have their peace.
