Noise pollution is driving me to suicide. I tried all sorts of earplugs and earmuffs, but they don't do anything against dogs, loud music, bikes, etc. However, if I stick my little fingers in my ears they block almost everything.

If I understand correctly, common earplugs are only meant to dampen unsafe noise, while allowing you to listen to coworkers and safety notices. I don't need that. My safety priority is to reclaim a tiny corner where I'm in control.

Given that this place is full of tech nerds, I'm hoping that someone knows of something that can completely cancel noise on the level of a dog barking close by.
