The Science Behind Murmur Earplugs

Engineered for Calm. Backed by Science.

At Murmur, we believe better sleep, focus and wellness begins with less noise. Our premium earplugs aren’t just stylish - they’re scientifically designed to block out the chaos, without compromising comfort.

Noise Reduction Technology: Up to 35dB Protection

Each pair of Murmur Earplugs is designed using multi-layer acoustic filtering, reducing sound levels by up to 35 decibels. That means:

  • Loud traffic becomes a gentle hum
  • Crying babies fade into background noise
  • No more tossing and turning due to snoring

Unlike foam plugs, which can distort sound, Murmur preserves the natural quality of ambient sound, just at a lower volume. Perfect for sleep, study, travel and stress reduction.

Designed to Fit - Not Fall Out

Murmur includes three sizes of soft silicone tips engineered to form a gentle seal within the ear canal - secure, breathable, and virtually invisible. No pressure. No pain. No more popping out in the middle of the night.

Medical-Grade Silicone

Our plugs and case are made from hypoallergenic, BPA-free silicone - soft, smooth, and easy to clean. Durable enough to last for years.

  • Latex-free
  • Sweat and water resistant
  • Reusable and sustainable

Ideal for Travel and Air Pressure

Flying soon? Murmur Earplugs help reduce ear discomfort caused by cabin pressure changes — especially for children or sensitive ears. Their compact carry case makes them the perfect travel wellness essential.

Why Noise Matters: The Neuroscience of Calm

Studies show that unwanted noise increases cortisol - the body’s primary stress hormone. That means:

  • Higher anxiety
  • Lower sleep quality
  • Reduced focus and cognitive performance

By using Murmur to block out disruptive noise, you’re helping to regulate your nervous system. Less cortisol. More calm.

Trusted by Experts

Our acoustic attenuation levels are tested according to EN 352-2 standards - the European benchmark for hearing protection. We are also working with acoustic engineers and wellness professionals to continually refine our product performance.

Sound Balance, Not Silence

Murmur doesn’t eliminate sound - it calms it. That’s what makes them ideal for:

  • Side sleepers
  • Open-plan offices
  • Students
  • Yoga and meditation
  • People with sensory sensitivity
