They attenuate (reduce) the sound, not block it out. I can hear any emergency vehicle and other cars quite fine with the Shure's in... drive with the windows open most of the time as well. Plus I'm not an oblivious driver like most seem to be; mirrors adjusted perfectly for zero blind spots, constant monitoring of the traffic situation around me, and in a constant state of defensive driving. My hearing is important to me (I have a great love for music and HT), driving in a loud car will absolutely degrade your hearing... the FRS is a loud car stock, even louder when modified.
