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.

Would it not be an option to just move somewhere quieter?

I sleep a lot better after moving out of the inner city to the edge. To an area on a dead end street
