Yes. And that is also why you should wear earplugs when riding a motorcycle.
Hi JohnR.
For the last 20 years on planet Vietnam, 
I've been wearing ear plugs when I ride my motorcycle 
on super noisy (Read 100dB+) planet Vietnam 
and I even wear the ear plugs in our showroom, 
because our store operate with it's doors open 
like most of small businesses without air conditionning overthere.
