I have tiny ear canals too but I have a fiance who snores like an elephant, so I learned to suck it up and find ear plugs, and now I sleep through the night just fine. Look for the foam ones (highly recommending these 3M ones) - you press them between your fingers like you are trying to roll them into thin long pieces, then put them in your ear, and then they expand and block out all the sound. It takes a bit of getting used to and some practice to get them to stay in, but after a few days I managed just fine. Unfortunately living with roommates means you share your space - it is the compromise you have to make for the cheaper rent, otherwise I am sure most people would choose to live by themselves.
Noise-Cancelling Headphones seem to be all the rage, but I don't understand the attraction, personally.
They are enormously large, delicate, expensive and not really designed for this use-case.
My solution:
3M Foam Ear Plugs
$20 for 200-pair. Stuff 5 or 6 pair in your laptop bag. Reuse them if you want, or just toss them. In fact, in accordance with OSHA regulations in the US, the data center should probably have a supply of these on hand for anyone who needs to work in that equipment room for more than 10-20 minutes.
I just made a post about this and spent several hours researching the perfect ear plugs. The earplugs with the highest decibel ratings are the 3M 1100s which block out roughly 38 db. They're a thicker and harder foam than most other ear plugs and must be warmed up in your hands before they will be in their most malleable state. You can also put them in your ears and the heat will naturally cause them to warm up.
I ordered a box and do not regret my decision one bit. They are also allowed for the bar exam.
Bro.
Here you go.
Video from 3M on how to actually use them correctly.
Have you tried anything other than becoming progressively less pleasant to be around?
3M earplugs are the best available. At $35 for 200 pairs, you'll have plenty left over to stick up your ass.
Vacuum bags are
greatacceptable for when you're leaving home, but it's pretty rare to have a vacuum on deployment when you're trying to pack to come home. Regardless, space bags aren't that great. Even the ones with a one-way vent are trash; they'll quickly fill back up with air. These compression sacks have been priceless for me and the one-way vent truly works, while keeping out moisture. They're more expensive, but you get what you pay for.Other items: Ear plugs, anything you like to use that can't be shipped overseas due to safety restrictions (for me, I like a quality alcohol-based aftershave, which can't be shipped), baby wipes, your own pillow/linen if you can fit them in your bags, and a padlock/combination lock (for any time you're in transit for a little bit in Kuwait or some other hub and you have to store your bags in cages outside).
If you get a 1U and don't have a server room or somewhere to put it I'd recommend these.

Once you're done, head to Amazon and drop $20 on 200 pairs of 3M 1100 earplugs. I don't work for 3M, but they're the one company I'd take a sponsorship from in a heartbeat. Those things work, I've tried the other products you linked - musician earplugs, etymotics, even custom monitors - cheap foam has won every time.
You can find them at Home Depot, Walmart, etc - but they're cheapest online in bulk.
Yup that’s the one. and they’re really cheap for Americans: https://www.amazon.com/3M-1100-Foam-Plugs-200-Pair/dp/B008MVYL7C. $18 vs $35 on amazon.ca. I hope they work out for you!
On the other side of things, you can get these earplugs from Amazon for less than $20. It's 200 pairs, so you don't have to worry about reusing them or losing them, and they do a pretty decent job in their own right. I use these at work often enough, and can hear whatever important stuff I need to.
Earplugs are best at attenuating high frequencies. Noise-cancelling headphones are best at attenuating low frequencies.
If you want to attenuate both, first put in a pair of earplugs, and then put on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones over the top.
3M earplugs. These are very good at blocking out high frequencies.
These headphones from Bose are good at blocking out lower frequencies.
I know they shouldn't be loud in the 1st place, but these might help when it comes to sleeping
Of course the landlord should take care of it. Then the cops, and then fight fire with fire. My neighbors have younger kids, and if they are extremely loud I can easily visit pornhub, and get my Klpsch RF-82's singing :)
No, you can get the cheap foam ones, which are very effective.

$20 for 200 pair of disposable ones.
i use the 3M earplugs occasionally at home either when something loud is going on outside or to bed, pretty sure my tinnitus has lessened since using them
i also use these earmuffs
I would go with 3M's best ear plugs: https://www.amazon.com/3M-1100-Foam-Plugs-200-Pair/dp/B008MVYL7C/ref=sr_1_10?crid=FPNKFET7RQ9R&keywords=3m+ear+plugs&qid=1566653544&s=gateway&sprefix=3m+ear%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-10
​
Or some wireless earbuds with comply tips. They both block out more than enough noise. I use beatsx ear buds with comply tips and I can barely hear my own exhaust.
3M is the brand, 1100 is the model.

Good luck!
NAH. 3M foam earplugs. 7 bucks for 50 at home depot. Google how to put them in properly and sleep soundly.

/edit. $20 for 200 pairs on amazon. 3m foam earplugs.
>čepove za uši
Nisu svi cepovi isti. Ne znam ima li ih tamo nabaviti, ali ovi su (bar meni) puno bolji nego ostali koje sam probao.
Etymotic as others have suggested. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, just get regular foam plugs from CVS or something. They're like $5 and come with 20 pairs.. or buy them in bulk 3M foam plugs
To be fair, I agree to the general context of your sateement, it'd be better if /u/lolApexseals dropped a supporting link so you, and everyone else can see why he has that conclusion.
To be fair, I have a point, when you counter with "No way!" to someone saying "Way!" all you are doing is continuing to dilute the discussion. The fact that the opening didn't have a supporting reference link by a trusted third party source does not make you saying "I think... blah blah {no supporting third party source of your counter}" a great contribution to the discussion.
Honestly, had you given any substantive reply with some "Here's an example of why I think this is all dreck and automation isn't as scary as everyone here claims [LINK]" you would have roasted the point and been far more credible, as nobody else contributed.
Now then, to make my point and take a stance, automation is taking jobs away. There's no question of that. The key question, as I frame this discussion, is are new jobs coming in? Especially as automation begins to deepen the cut it's making into white collar jobs.
Here's a PDF from the Brookings Institute, Published in 2015, that makes my case
...and now a quote from that PDF, on the top of page 7... that states the position well:
> In a number of fields, technology is substituting for labor, and this has dramatic consequences for middle class jobs
and incomes. Cornell University engineer Hod Lipson argues that “for a long time the common understanding was that technology was destroying jobs but also creating new and better ones. Now the evidence is that technology is destroying jobs and indeed creating new and better ones but also fewer ones.”
Now, this is just some guy who wrote something for the Brookings Institute, and you might still disagree and say "But it's not a FACT!"
Slight clue, there are no hard facts. There is compelling research, study, and trends analysis. A significant portion of it indicates that automation is indeed rendering jobs obsolete at an increasing pace. It also suggests that there's a real need for concern as it isn't creating new jobs at a matching pace, and evidence suggests that it won't.
Agree, disagree, whatever - just try to drop supporting knowledge when you do. Saying "I don't like this, I don't agree." isn't helping you any more than someone saying "I like it but can't show you any data as to why you should care."
You shouldn't. Nor should we. Absent useful data. Like the link to that PDF you won't read in full. Research suggests that there's a huge bias for people to ignore data that differs with their world view.
If you go that route I strongly suggest these earplugs.

If you think this advice helped, write **helped** in your reply.
These are the pair of 3M's I have, with 31dB NRR. They are huge and ugly, but they fit well and they definitely protect more than the Howard Leights. You may not be able to get a good cheek weld with these if you're shooting rifle, but I primarily shoot pistol indoors and rifle outdoors, so it works for me.
I use these 3M disposable ear plugs as well, believe they are 29dB NRR. I promise I'm not a 3M shill.
Make sure you put in the plugs properly - roll them up, pull back your earlobe with opposite hand and then insert. I shoot indoors often 2x a month, so protecting my hearing is really important to me.
edit: I should note that I have the basic pair of the Howard Leights, not the impact Pro model.
even a silent bike at 60mph, the wind noise on your helmet will damage your hearing
I can't ever imagine not using ear plugs having used them since i started riding. Anyone who does not will lose hearing as they get older. Ask any motorcycle rider over the age of 50.

bought a box of these like 3 years ago. Still going through them. Useful in other scenarios as well, such as loud rock shows.
Io ho preso questi
Prima del pacco da 200 ne ho preso uno da 5 per provarli
Money? Maybe a couple bucks. But effort? Is it really that hard to open a plastic wrapper? I go through maybe 2 of these boxes in a year.
The couple extra bucks is an infinitely better trade than the risk of an ear infection, or just gross ass used ear plugs in general.
3M 1100 Foam Ear plugs. Bought these myself, well recommend them!
There is no such thing as BIFL earplugs. And even if there were, you wouldn't like them. You don't want to be using the same set of earplugs you bought 10 years ago.
https://www.amazon.com/3M-1100-Foam-Plugs-200-Pair/dp/B008MVYL7C
Get these. I bought a box of these 4 years ago, and I have about 1/4 of the box left. I generally use a new pair on average every 1-3 days though. Some people use them for a week, but I wouldn't advise that - they are so cheap just use them whenever you feel like.
For me, they wouldn't feel secure and would fall out on occasion. I have tried the largest size of a bunch of popular brands (etymotic, eargasm, etc.) My customs are so secure than I can twist them out a quarter turn if I want to hear something quiet, and they won't fall out.
For just blocking the most noise possible, I'd get some foam plugs like these. https://www.amazon.com/3M-1100-Foam-Plugs-200-Pair/dp/B008MVYL7C/ edit:go with the hearos someone else posted
11 cents per pair of earplugs.
So... marginal compared to the leaf blower cost.
This isn't an answer to your question, but is a possible solution. Also, I'm definitely not saying that your it's ok for your neighbors to have a rooster. I'm also not saying that you shouldn't report your neighbor (IE It's totally fine to report your neighbor).
But, for the time being, wear earplugs when you go to bed on friday / saturday nights....
https://www.amazon.com/3M-1100-Foam-Plugs-200-Pair/dp/B008MVYL7C
I sleep with these every night because I'm a really light sleeper. They've never hurt my ears, are easy to get in and out, and are a very economical choice. Everybody's ears are different, just wanted to provide another option to folks.
I was in a similar situation myself. Only it was a second floor apartment that was above the sound wall that was less than 50 yards from an active freight train line. Which would result in trains coming and going at all hours, sometimes blaring their horns. At 2-6 am. Regardless.
Personally, I would recommend foam ear plugs. They will not mute 100% of the sound, but at the very least 90% of it. It might be a little uncomfortable at first, but eventually you'll get used to it. And within a few weeks or months, you'll find you won't even need them.
I hope this helps.
I use 3m disposable. If they're good enough for shooting they're good enough for motorcycles.
Just make sure that you roll them up and get them deep into the ear canal or they won't work well.
I liked the parents that handed out small bags of candy and those cheap foam earplugs to passengers around them. What does it cost, maybe $100 for the whole trip and you actually do get people to cut you a break?
Probably only need to do like 5 rows forward and backward from you and people who don't care (or already have some) will probably pass them along.
200 of them are $20 on Amazon and they're even pre-packaged into pairs.
240 piece candy is $17
$37 so the entire plane doesn't hate you. Really no excuse. Might cost you a little more to put the candy in bags with the earplugs, double up on each passenger, and include a little printed out note asking for forgiveness in advance.
