From my experience, yes, noises CAN bring you back. This is why it's important to disconnect the phone or any other external distraction from the area in which you're meditating.
If you live in a loud area, then I would recommend earplugs....but make sure they are not too cumbersome or big, or else they'll be too uncomfortable for you, and it may hinder your projection.
Or....if you have any tapes that you listen to (like Monroe's Gateway CD's or other meditative music), that would be an other alternative. This works well if you have a spouse who snores!
Keep smiling,

I always use earplugs - those little soft foam things are great. I have a partner who snores and a cat that sings, not to mention the central heating (orchestral maneuvres in the dark). It's very melodic (?) in my house.

cat that sings?lol
Im going to pick some up soon.What may be bringing me back.Is when big rigs come by.The back slams up and down because of the bumps in the road.It doesnt help having leaky windows either.And there is quite a number of other things going on outside too.
Im only going to use the ear plugs when I want out of my body.Ive become acustomed to all the noise while meditating.
I see we all have snorers to deal with![]("http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/images/icon_Smile_tongue.gif")

Hi Alpha, I use silicon earplugs. I think they block noise better than the foam kind and they`re more comfortable."Macks" is a good brand if you can find them. I`m a carpenter so they`re handy for work too!

Can noises in the physical call you back to your body.I dont remeber hearing anything.But I do live on a busy street.Have any of you ever tried earplugs?
Anything else that may help will be much appreciated.
