Active Noise-Canceling Headsets In Server Rooms? 141

Posted by Cliff on Friday November 10, 2006 @01:15PM from the earplugs-on-steroids dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "Recently I co-located our computer room to a temporary hosting facility. It's a big shop, with everything you could want, along with quite a high dB of background noise. I've no desire to wear those silly little yellow earplugs for several hours when I'm on site there, and standard headsets are such non-IT apparel. Given that technology is the cure to many of todays evils I was wondering if any people had experimented with active noise canceling headphones and has something to say about them. Does anyone use any active noise canceling headsets in a computer room or data facility, and if so how good are they?"

In college, I once made the mistake of retreating to the bowels of the library were there were about 4 other people on the whole floor. Almost no noise over the vent system. I was still distracted by the shuffling of papers, so I stuck my earplugs in. After a while I started to wonder what the heck I was still hearing.... my eyelids blinking. Jesus that was annoying.

Well, it's not like you can't control that. Just stop blinking so loud.

I turn off my hearing aid when I go into my server room.

No, seriously.

Being deaf ain't half bad sometimes.
