Threatening to be OT, but pleading 'relevant to some, and to iPodland in general

I spend far too much time on trains surrounded by <scathing look> 'conversations', tinny headphone sound etc and I'm really getting too old for it... I have etymotic ER4s which do a very good job of cutting out sound; I've tried Bose noise-cancelling headphones which do nearly as well.

What I would often like is silence, though. Or not the kind of music that drowns it all out. I'm currently in a 'quiet' coach for instance with a family all chatting loudly three feet away, cackling loudly. I'm glad they're enjoying their journey but I wish they'd do it somewhere else, frankly;)

Has anyone else also set out on a quest to turn their travel environment into a library-like silence? I've not done better than BOSE/ER but they leave a lot of conversation noise to come through, and often that's precisely what I want to cut out...
