Oh, if you want to hear what they sound like, try simplynoise.com on a low setting. I prefer the brown/red setting, which is quite similar to the noise the machines make (at least on the setting I use).
I own two of them, one for the bedroom, and one for the office or living room. I sleep much better with the noise machine on, and I find it easier to sustain high concentration for extended periods during the day with the noise machine on. The many little sounds that I hear living in a city and that I often find distracting when I’m trying to focus on something difficult bother me much less when the noise machine is going.

And for those who find earplugs uncomfortable after a while, there are white-noise machines like this.
That’s definitely interesting. I am curious: have you tried them?, do they actually work?

Why downvote this? This is just the sort of thing that works for me! Change the environment. What you can’t hear can’t interrupt you.
I agree. It was quick, harmless, and relevant.
I have to say that I was recommended those ones as being the best. They are indeed the sexiest earplugs ever. Stylish.
Unfortunately, at least for me, they were inferior in blocking noise compared to the cheap ones in orange foam. Silicone still wins.
