Any recommendations for really good sound machines to completely block out loud noise? I live in the North End and am so angry…loud drunk assholes yelled in the street last night and woke me up (even with my loud AC on which typically blocks out most noise) and it took me forever to fall back asleep and sleep quality was terrible because I was on edge.

For sleep I use the Amazfit Zenbuds, they are in-ear white noise emitting earplugs. I find them very effective as the white noise is closer to your ear, so it masks more outside sounds.

Why did you move to north end?? Didn’t you know this already?

Hey Genius, I’ve lived in the North End for ten years now and have never had this problem until now.

I think the only buildings in the North end that wouldn’t have this problem are the taller luxury apartments

Taller*

I usually just have a white noise machine and a fan on and sleep like a baby. I've also sound proofed my windows

I use the Yogasleep Dohm sound machine for construction noise around my apartment and although it doesn’t completely block it, anything helps!

I use this sleep machine + noise cancelling AirPods in the north end and it works perfectly for me.
