I’d highly suggest trying earplugs if you haven’t. The ones I use reduce sound by 33dB which is quite considerable.
They aren’t strong enough to block out my neighbor having a loud party, but it can block out pretty much everything else. It’s hard to sleep without them anymore.
- Emma_Goldman 4y agoI used to wear earplugs, but I find that the bose sleepbuds are more effective at blocking out sound. The problem I found was that earplugs let in deep, bass sounds - like the thud of the floorboards in the flat above me as my neighbour jumps up from bed in the depth of the night. Apparently because low frequency sounds travel well through bone, reaching your inner ear sideways.

Which earplugs do you use though?
- dinkleberg 4y agoYeah you’re spot on about it not blocking the low bass frequencies. Maybe I need to get a pair of sleep buds for when my neighbor is having a party. But I use Mack’s foam earplugs every night and they have been great for all non-party related noise.
