noise blocking reccomendations, please|

I think it's awful that anyone should have to wear earplugs to cut out noise from unreasonable upstairs neighbours.
I hope you have a decent landlord who will put down a carpet upstairs. In the meantime, I like Pascal's suggestion about asking them to come into your flat and hear someone clomping about upstairs.
Good luck!

I wonder if Shysal and Sunnysusie would be kind enough to let me know the makes and where to buy their white noise appliances. I’m desperately looking for white noise headphones, not sound blocking headphones. A well known online retailer doesn’t do white noise headphones and my current white noise headphones are SO OLD they’re taped up with sellotape. I have thin walls and ceiling and young boys above me coming and going all the time during the night with all their friends staying overnight all the time. Feel free to send me a personal reply if you want to. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We have a really loud neighbour, (that's the polite description), who spouts the most ridiculous drivel every time she opens her gob, she shouts to everyone who passes by and has woken us up many mornings. Solution - we have a fan beside the bed, turn that on & hey presto 👍 we don't hear the bin lorry, the kids going to school or her anymore. We have one downstairs too, we have to turn the tv up when it's on but we don't hear her much at all now.

🤨 hmm Boing I live above a women who is quite deaf and has two “little yappers” she also conducts (shouts) all of her business from the open lounge windows and sings (catawauls) to loud Irish folk records. This flares up at least once a day for a couple of hours.

Boots mouldable wax earplugs are very safe and good use enough to fill cavity. Our son uses sound blocking headphones for his work if I find out what make they are I will post info.

This is the item that I use, but it is not headphones. I have it beside my bed.

I have used Boots wax earplugs for years when I needed to shut out noise and get a good night’s sleep. I find them very effective.

Thanks so much for your responses, everybody. I am beginning to hear the noise again tonight but won't have earplugs until tomorrow, so hoping for the best! I have seriously considered offering to pay for the flat to be carpeted (it would be cheaper than moving home!)
