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.
