Thanks. Unfortunately I've already moved once with noise as the priority and it didn't work out. About the silicon ones, were they the ones which are custom made?

I'm guessing it's something similar to these, they come in different brand names depending on which country you're in and I can highly recommend them, having tried many different earplugs myself. Much more effective than the foam types and almost as cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Soft-Silicone-Earplugs/dp/B003LZQGN6 https://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Soft-Silicone-Earplugs/d...

  Yep, those are the ones. I roll one into a ball then push it in. The silicone deforms to the shape of your [outer-ish] ear canal, and is a bit tacky which helps create a better seal and maintain it through the night. Cheap and worth a shot.

  The silicone earplugs have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 22dB. I use these, which have a NRR rating of 33dB: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051U7W32 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051U7W32 I don't like using them full size because they tend to make my ear sore when worn for long periods, so I cut about 1/4" off the smaller end. I wash mine when I take a shower, so this bottle of 50 pairs has lasted nearly 10 years. I have tinnitus caused by working in a computer room with loud blowers, and wearing ear plugs most of the time helps a lot. Good luck!

I use these kind [1][2] of silicone ear-plugs to sleep, although I buy them in local pharmacies. Last week there was a festival where I live, with loud music and DJs at least 4:00 am, and it damped the noise by a lot, enough to let me sleep. They are a bit uncomfortable to use at first, but I got used to them in 2/3 nights.
