As far as hearing protection, try pumping the tires to 40-60 psi, then checking all around both sides of the rim to see that the tire is seated properly and you haven't left any of the tube pinched between the rim and the bead. THEN pump it the rest of the way. I've been doing it that way longer than you've been alive and have had zero blowouts from pinched tubes.
