Affordable Solutions to Block Noise?

I’ve heard a few people say that pretty much all earplugs are designed to block less sound at the frequencies at which you hear speech, which matches the years of experience I’ve had with at least half a dozen different types of types of plugs. It makes sense really since plugs are most likely to be used in an environment where blocking out speech can be very hazardous.

There are lots of little things that can be done to reduce noise, but the problem with reducing noise is that for every little bit you remove, you’ll hear something else that much better. Get yourself in a VERY quiet room, and you’ll hear your heart pounding like it was a drum. This is why I advocate the use of white noise. This can be music, a fish tank, a fan, an air conditioner…anything that makes noise.
