Long story short, I’m surrounded by dickwads that blast music all the way past midnight. I can’t go to the law enforcement with this.

I’ve the sony noise cancelling headphones and AirPods Pro and they work great but beyond an hour of use, my ears begin to hurt. I’m looking for alternatives that would cancel out the noise from these Neanderthals.

Would ear muffs work for this purpose? On that note, have sleep masks helped you in anyway?

Haven’t slept properly in a few days and am hopping on BZDs tomorrow but would still like to know your experiences on the muffs and blinds.

Cheers.
A very tired rabbit.
 
sleep side wise, with one pillow above your ear (and the other one covering the other ear). Works surprisingly well (i have kid, i kw ;) ), and is a free option.
But how do you sleep on your sides throughout the night?
 
Come stay with me hun I've got a hutch out the back for you..

Anyone causing a ruckus is waiting for someone to knock in nicely and ask to keep it down ;)
and to give abuse to whoever is a d*ck about things though

Throw shapes anyways

I'm not sure how your ears would react to white noise, but at my last house my neighbors had the hounds from hell - they'd bark non-stop all night and it drove me crazy. I bought the LectroFan High Fidelity White Noise Machine from Amazon for like $30 and it changed my life. Put it like 10 feet away, turned it on, and it generates a bubble of white noise that blocks out all outside distractions. After you get used to it, it's surprisingly soothing. Might be worth a shot! (there are others that do more noises and such, so plenty of options available)
 
I can’t sleep straight anyway. I have nsd lol.
Ahh makes sense.
I like to move around a lot and sleeping just on my sides in a fixed position would be impossible for me.

I just might do that, only if I’d been in Ireland. :(

But yeah, I’ve pondered caving a few skulls in. You’d be surprised how violent lack of sleep makes you. These aren’t reasonable folk though.

That’s actually a pretty good idea. I will have to look into that. Would you point it at your windows?

Btw, I’ve got the dog issue too. Along with the human issue.
Sleep deep bro, No noise can hurt you
Thanks bro. Your words were all I needed. :D

I read an article about it.

It seems that a product is very efficient against bad neighboors try to buy it somewhere and you will be at peace.






It looks like this : if you use it correctly you should normally not have noise around you anymore. As you are a phd in medical field and lawyer and businessman you will be fine I am sure.

I’ve considered that. Don’t tempt me lol

I’ve also considered nicking the wires to their speakers when no one’s around. Damn…I need help.

I do move around side to side as well. I have heard from my wife that I throw my pillow(s) with one hand and catch with the other, while moving to the other side… all while i am asleep. Talk about talent huh.

I feel your pain lol.

I found that the closer to your ears, the better (within reason - 5-10 feet away should be more than sufficient). It's just a speaker that radiates in all directions, so as long as it's close enough to fill your ears up with the noise it should work - you don't need to worry about pointing it any specific way.

Well no jokes but actually doing some physical efforts during the day will get you a really deep good night sleep, Either an intense workout or anything which exerts you physically

So I just looked into this. Excuse my ignorance as I have no clue how the whole thing works. But how is buying a separate white noise gen different from playing the white noise videos on YT on a Bluetooth speaker?

Ser, I workout. A lot. :D
That’s not the issue. No matter how tired I am during the night or even the next day, it’s hard to fall asleep when there’s fast paced music playing on speakers a few hundred meters from your house.
Try earplugs. There are quite a few different kinds and most are cheap, experiment with them.
Are they annoying to wear? Do they fall out of your ears in the middle of the night?

They aren’t neighbors. Just hooligans using the streets to do whatever tf they want.
