Frequent flyers - do you hear other people's loud music from their earbuds when you are on a plane?

I ride the subway here in NYC, and a real problem has developed. Some people play their 'iPod' music so loud in their ear buds that I can hear it from 10 or 15 feet away. Even when the train is moving. Absolutely no exaggeration. Mostly hear the loud percussion, but can also hear all the music.

Is this happening on airplanes? I will be flying a couple of times this year, and wonder how airlines are dealing with this.

Oh, I started listening to my own MP3 player. But I listen to classical, so at the soft pieces or passages, sound leaks through.

I fly around 10 times a year, intentional and domestic. And i never had this problem. Most people on international planes respect the flight. At the end you will be dealing with the same people for 10 hours. And i think people just know it, so they respect everyone.

I would recommend you take ear plugs if you get annoyed on the train :) it helps

I easily have under no circumstances encountered this, besides the indisputable fact that.... it would want to be more desirable probable to ensue on a airplane without in-flight-leisure, operating example, short haul funds flights the position you should make your human being leisure. The noise of the airplane would block out the sound of ear buds besides. On planes with IFE, maximum human beings use that particularly than their personal iPods and also you'll't listen some thing externally from the headphones they furnish on the airplane.

I never notice it on planes. It may have to do with the height popping their eyes. Music may make it that more uncomfortable
