One of my pet peeves is noise: I really don't like it when someone makes a lot of noise especially when I am working or when I am sleeping. I get irritated, annoyed, and frustrated, eventually making me cranky and unapproachable.

Instead of buying those earplugs to "mask" the noise from surrounding areas, I have found a product that can actually make 'everything' cease to exist.

It's called the Total Isolation System, an earplug intended to provide the 'perfect' isolation against any kind of noise.

The Total Isolation System has a fully customized earphones and a CD of masking sounds and as soon as one puts in the earphones, it promises to reduce the noise you hear 'by as much as 90%.'

The TIS is great for those times when you want to listen to your iPod, concentrate during those 'sleepless nights,' or just feel good to the sound of nothingness.

A word of warning though, and I quote from the website.

The Total Isolation System(TM) is capable of masking emergency alarms, crying children and other sounds you may want or need to be able to hear, and with the system in place, ordinary alarm clocks may not be loud enough to wake you.

So, just know when and where to use this nifty device. The TIS can be bought from The *Super* Earplug Store and the link can be found right on this link.
