Better still use the concerns and advice line to report a concern

That's why I'm looking at a hardware solution, it'll get noticed over time and give me a bit of respite until one of the silent complainers decides to grow a pair...
I'd love to give the protagonists a good waterboarding - I'd even forgo my dinner break for it, for some reason it's frowned upon in civvy street....

There would already have been a Bat involved (that's hardware, right?) and the radio would have needed replacement. Cannot do with selfishness.

Report the management to the performing rights society or whatever it's called for breach of copyright, the music on the radio is only for domestic use and they will be harassed into paying a large monthly sum or stopping the music. Job done. Let them listen over headphones. Landlord in a local pub thought he could ignore them and was taken to court, cost him over £6000.

I had a similar problem many years ago, although it was all day Frank Sinatra over the tannoy in my case! Everyone hated it but one would speak up cos the foreman loved it.

I was on a chair yanking the wires out of the speaker above the door to our shop when he came through the door, nearly knocked me off, he didn't look too happy!

Could have got hurt, just shows how dangerous loud music can be.

Never worked as an employee since..

Noise cancellers will probably not cancel out radio, they work best on humming constant noise.

You need the best noise isolators you con get, with talk through function.

Look for a pair of buds like the jbl reflect flow which have really good noise isolation, the talk through is ok apart from the mics will pick up background noise and sometimes over power voices a little, the mics do also shut down when there are sudden loud noises too which is good to protect your hearing.

If not the other guys need small personal radios at lower volume and do away with the big radio.

Alternatively supply your own sound system. I suggest something like this

You also don't want active noise cancelling to stop something too loud, you need passive ear defenders.

I forgot about that. Yeah, I remember a local old man that had an Iron Monger's shop nearby. The old timer was sitting in his shop looking aimlessly into space when I walked through the door. I mentioned jokingly that you need a big screen television in here, to which he replied something like " even if I had a radio playing I would have to pay for a licence ".

If you have an AC DC tig plant, switch to AC, the HF will blooter the incoming radio signals to just noise. Failing this, have your missus make a short clip of her voice. When my missus starts the yak yak yak, I switch off, just a thought

Tried that, the TIG seems to be too well supressed to knock out DAB, going to have a word with an ex-scalie mate to see if he can come up with an ECM or something to block DAB unobtrusively.... Oddly enough, it's only been ~65dB today, I kept expecting one of the filter-spinners to climb the ladder to where the radio is and whack the volume up to max, as per usual.

Hopefully your good lady recording a few minutes clip on a loop will do the trick, works for me

She's banned under the Geneva Convention under the 'cruel & unusual punishment' subsection....
I am considering getting a 'mosquito' sound generator (>17.4kHz to save you looking) and hooking it up to a couple of discrete speakers......

Grease the ladder.

Grease the ladder.

won't that affect the conductivity? it's already connected to a 1kV Megger....

Copperslip then.
