#4Ear plugs and noise-canceling headphones (Bose QuietComfort for example) work really really well.
Turn up the music/white noise to get past the ear plugs just a little bit.
No sounds get past this.

#5Pretty lame for society to be so intolerant of children. Was everyone just born into adulthood complete with manners?? Smh.

#6I travel quite a bit for my job and I never leave home without my foam earplugs, and by the way, I have found that for me, the foam earplugs open up the ear canal and help with the cabin pressure changes on the plane. Also, they work great for getting to sleep in noisy hotels.

#7Just got off from a Singapore → Taipei Scoot flight today; sat in the quiet zone. Compared with the other flight where a family placed their loud baby right behind me, this is pure bliss.
I’ll happily pay up to $500 for guaranteed silence.
ps. Active noise cancellation might work; however you’re usually not allowed to use electronic devices during takeoff or landing. Speaking from my experience, babies don’t really cry when the plane is coasting, they’re triggered by jitters.
Belated material — Malaysia Airlines bans babies from first class outright [1].

#8I wonder why children cry at all. Isn't that evolutionary stupid to cry so loud so much?
My only idea is that children cries is a side-effect of their brain development.

Crying is, by its very nature and purpose, difficult to tolerate and ignore. Even for loving parents, taking a baby on a flight can be incredibly tiring and trying. What's wrong with offering passengers the chance to be a few rows away from the noise?

If the child is in a group of other humans, the louder it cries the more likely it is to be noticed. The more annoying the cry is to other people, the more likely it is to get help.
Humans always lived in groups, so being loud and annoying has huge evolutionary advantages over being quiet.
