I 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. See here:

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.
