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.
Ugh, I agree the lack of noise regulations is a serious issue no one talks about. I moved away from the city in large part because it was always loud. Pretty sure I got tinnitus from years of daily earplug and headphone use, too.
Nowadays, I always sleep with a fan on for noise, and if that’s not enough then I play this. Doesn’t block everything out, but really helps reduce my irritation. https://youtu.be/hXetO_bYcMo
Even for non-autistic people, constant noise is very unhealthy. I don’t understand why nobody seems to talk about that.
