I’m autistic with relatively high sound sensitivity. I’m wondering if another autistic person in this community used any soundproofing in an apartment that actually reduced noise coming from a busy street. There are a lot of different products out there and I don’t want to buy something that doesn’t work.


Boots do an own brand version of loops. Easily sleepable in and cuts out a surprising amount of noise.

I hate hearing myself breathe super loudly, which is what every in-ear noise blocker (be it plugs or earphones) causes to happen.
Same for me, doubly so with over-ear cans. Any internal noises (breathing, swallowing, coughing etc) get cranked to 11. And any noise from the cans or headrest goes to 12.
