Might work. I wear earplugs in airplanes, and in my convertible if I
go more than an hour at speeds 65 or more. LOwer than that and the
wind noise doesn't bother me. Teh most comforable effective ones are
the foam rubber cylinders that one rolls beween the fingers and then
puts in the ear, where they expand.
The first owner of my house thought there was too much noise, and put
a second layer over the two outside walls and the one common wall of
his bedroom. I'll give you the details if you want, but I didn't
quite get it straight if his efforts worked. I never hear the
neighbors, but I never hear them in other rooms either except the
bathroom a bit once in a while.
