Yeah you don't need to spend an extra dime of your own money to find a solution when your taxes already pay for the solution.

Speakers with noise tracks pumped in are ok, but in my experience 'physical' noise works better. The Yogasleep Dohm is great for this. Think the sound of a fan in your room that you can adjust the sound for with no air blowing.

Try to get one that has other "colors" of noise. Some find white noise too piercing or only suitable to block sounds when they're awake, but find Brownian/"brown" noise more soothing for sleep, for example.

Same size range, different brand. The set he built the case for are Mitutoyo, while mine are J.T. Slocomb.

I'll also throw in that often the electric meters for all the units in a complex are clearly labeled in a common area. Unplugging one is simply a matter of snipping the wire seal, removing the locking ring and pulling the meter out.

Not professional advice:Record their arguments and loud music. Then play classical music very loudly when you know they are going to sleep and if they complain to the landlord or management firm, send the evidence of their loud code violations from an anonymous email with the loud residents apt number. Not again I'm not a professional, only do if you feel comfortable with it.

I have to sleep with ear plugs. Buy in bulk and as long as your ears are clean, you can wear a pair for a few days.

I would probably remove the bracket too.

Have a look at builders merchants for boxes of ear plugs instead of a couple of packets on Amazon marked for sleeping. I've got 2000 pairs for £15.

People like your neighbors are disgusting humans. Very self centered bullies. If it's any consolation they usually have very miserable lives and zero peace of mind. I would Do everything I could to get them to move or I would move. (Like tell management, call police repeatedly, enlist all other neighbors in the battle and finally pay a very large Italian gentleman to pay them a visit.)

Are these the same ones Adam savage restored a case for? Looks great!

Noise machines are generally pretty inexpensive. There are also white noise apps you can get for free on your phone. I work night shift and my neighbors dog barks all day but my noise machine completely drowns it out. It's been a life saver.

I see. They do have custom molded earplugs that would be a higher upfront cost without having to worry about reoccurring purchases or environmental impact.
I'm US based so I can't recommend any UK based custom earplug companies but there are some DIY kits that might be available to ship to the UK.

Reply to Wool shirt base layer (for women) by bexappa
I wear this (https://www.ems.com/ems-womens-merino-wool-base-layer-crew-neck-pullover/35116300092.html) with a thin shirt like this underneath (https://www.ems.com/ems-womens-essence-peak-long-sleeve-tee/34680000089.html). I think it would probably not be too itchy without a shirt underneath, I'm just always cold so I wear one wool shirt all week with a new thin shirt every day.

I went to a place that fits hearing aids and they also do custom molds for ear plugs. I got my for like $120 about 3 years ago. Sleep great with them in.
