DO YOU HEAR THAT?

Carpentry shops in the film industry generally have average sound levels of: 87 dBA; you should be wearing Class C hearing protection.

Class C earplugs or ear muffs will provide enough protection for average sound levels in a carpentry shop. For louder work, such as power sanding, drilling, hammering, cutting, etc. consider wearing Class A or B hearing protection. For noise above 110 dBA (roughly, the sound level of a power saw) consider both earmuffs (Class B) and earplugs (Class A) together.
