The first thing taken into consideration for decibel reduction while designing Mutt Muffs was the acoustic properties of materials used. Mutt Muffs materials were selected on the basis of their usage in human hearing protection devices that gave an average advertised reduction of 20 dB. So that, or better, is the dB reduction number Mutt Muffs were designed for.
The second consideration was the high frequency noise that is beyond the range of human hearing. Assuming the noise reduction properties of Mutt Muffs is in the 15-25 dB range at human frequencies, we can assume an even better number in the high frequency range for the simple reason that higher frequency, shorter wavelength sounds are easier to diminish then the longer wavelength sounds that fall within the human hearing range.

Choosing the Right Size for
Your Dog
The overall circumference measurement of your dog's noggin at the
largest point is the best determination of size, because if you choose a
size too large, the muffs won't seal well against his head, and you lose
all the sound-reducing properties you were shooting for. Your dog's weight is also a good indicator of which size to choose.Using the handy chart, you can use your dog's weight and/or head
circumference to determine the right size of mutt-muffs to fit your
unique dog!
