Damping Showcase for loop earplugs
Nobody likes loud noises, but for some people, including myself, they can be overwhelming. Noise-canceling headphones were my preferred option for the last couple of years, but they can be bulky and couldn’t be worn during some events without attracting strange looks. So, when my partner wanted to buy some loop earplugs, I also became intrigued. However, I had one problem: how much damping is too much? This is how this small project came to life.
The project is a simple website featuring a single page and nothing more. The user can select from a range of environmental noise and then compare how different types of earplugs dampen the sound. Of course, the earplugs will dampen the sound differently if you actually have them in your ear, but the website allows you to paint yourself a picture.
This project also includes a very small GitLab CI/CD setup, which is used to deploy the project to GitLab Pages. (This CI/CD and Pages setup is running on my self-hosted GitLab CE instance 😉). The links to both the repository and the GitLab Pages deployment can be found below.

After a couple of weeks of me finishing this project, the official Loop website created its own simulator for its earplugs – which kind of makes this project redundant, but I will keep it up even so.
