Scientists say you can cancel the noise but keep your window open

Really, for sleeping just get a good set of passive earmuffs like shooters use. Cost about $20 and will provide 25-30db of real noise reduction (and unlike active NC will also work on non-periodic sounds like sirens or revving car engines). Can double up with foam earplugs too for even more blockage.

Where do you people live that you need ear muffs capable of deafening gun shots just to sleep??

Anywhere noisy? When used around guns that don't (nearly) deafen them, just bring them down to non-damage causing levels.

FWIW, I use cheap dollar store headphones - $4-5 - with white noise from the phone to sleep. they typically last 1-3 months.
