Reply to comment by Sacrificial_Identity in I already wear earmuffs to bed, neighbours in my apartment are so loud that they don't help. Need something stronger, any advice? by Verifiedvenuz

Would a speaker be a decent substitute? I have one.

Can you pipe stuff into it? There are like 10-hour white noise videos on youtube. Worth a try before you get the machine (machine is better and you can choose the tone).

Edit: And make it mega loud. The sound will disappear but keep other sounds at bay.

Make it loud! At first you'll be like wtf then you'll fall asleep and be peaceful.

Wait a second, most "White noise" videos on YouTube are pitched down and may struggle to cover higher frequency noise, you can use the Resound Tinnitus app then add an option on the screen for just white noise to get plain white noise

However if you find the pure white noise too high pitched and the YouTube ones work fine, you can keep using the YouTube ones, or use the pink and brown noise options on that app

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.

Wtf is a noise machine going to do for music so loud it shakes the floor?

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.

If you can use your phone to cast to that speaker, you might consider an app. I use White Noise Lite (free!) on iOS. (I like the "heavy rain pouring" noise, myself.)

Buy a Dohm white noise machine. It’s purpose built for specific frequencies
