I'm in desperate need. My neighbor is a brain-dead primitive who apparently can't live without a constant diet of loud noise.

I imagine he calls it 'music' - to me it's just a mind-numbing cacophony of raucous sound and ground-shaking thumps.

(Please don't ask what I plan to do about the problem long-term. If his house burns down one night, I don't want a visit from the local constabulary)

So, question 1: Do noise-cancelling cans work?

Question 2: If so, can I get something reasonably effective without breaking my pensioner's bank?
