I always would wear a pair of sound-blocking earmuffs, to block the roar of the diesel engine.

I recently picked up a quality set of in-ear noise cancelling headphones, and it makes a huge difference, so much that I no longer feel the need to wear earmuffs!


I can still hear some of the higher-pitched engine noise and the clanks and whirring when using hydraulic accessories, but the painful part of the engine noise is entirely wiped out by active noise cancelling.
