Forget about the stops if you go somewhere else. If you put earplugs (finger) in your ear and volume goes down then it is external.

Ear plugs don't work well with low frequencies

True. But a least a little? Or if low frequency sound is actually not transmitted through air but through the floor and body then one could step on something soft.

It helped a little. I think some nights earplugs was all I needed. I went through a lot of them.

Other nights, I needed more. And even with them it was still audible, even on a “good” night.
