Burrow and Room and Board are in two different leagues as far as quality.

Get the Room and Board with Sumner fabric. My cat claws it every day and there isn’t a single pull in it. The Sumner fabric is meant to hold up against pets.

Might take a peek at that Chemex, then. It’s a pretty choice design object, and suitable for gas and electric (electric if you use their little squiggle grid thing to keep it off the element.

We had a Revere Ware stove top whistling kettle for 30+ years. I don't know if they still make them but you can probably find one in a thrift store. We finally stopped using it when we got an electric kettle with different temperature settings, but it was still working fine.

Look into custom in ear plugs. There are many levels of companies to do this. You can double up your current solution

Cheap and DIY: Decibullz or Radians

Next level up: Something like "Big ear inc" or alternative, I bet there is something for the UK

Maximum: Go to an audiologist (or ear doctor and ask for a referral) and get custom molded ear plugs and explain you want maximum sound reduction.

Or involve the authorities, your apartment complex / building you shouldn't have to live like that
