Which soundproofing products actually work? (lemmy.zip)

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.

I wish we lived in a society that made it so you wouldn't need to do that to feel peace. For now, do what you need to do to feel calm, whatever that is.

Thank you. I hope you find a solution, too
