why does putting wireless earbuds in make some sounds seem louder?

208 views

I’m currently on a train filled with rowdy football lads being rowdy, so I put my wireless earbuds in on the hope that would block out some of the noise. But the voices around me only got louder. Is there a scientific explanation for this? I figured it was something to do with how soundwaves travel through plastic but I don’t know much about acoustics.

Do your buds have settings for different types of environments? I had a pair that I could set through an app or a series of taps that would filter out more or less outside noise.
