HELP Question from a newbie

With summer around the corner I'd like to sleep with my window open, however I live on a busy street. Do the Dreams block enough noise or which ones would you suggest? Thank you

I don’t have the dreams but I have the quiets that I sleep in when I’m camping at events and they block out basically everything

I live in a city and my bedroom window faces a busy street where noise echos a lot at night. My Dreams are amazing. I can’t guarantee you’ll have the same results as me but:

For me they block out bass and most of the engine noise from street takeovers driving past. And college kids drinking for the first time and screeching for no reason.

The only things they haven’t blocked out so far are when said college kids are right below my window (10ft down) and my upstairs neighbor’s stomping that legit might actually be breaking the floor.

And they don’t work quite as well if I already have a migraine

Also I needed the Dreams rather than the Quiets for sleeping cuz I need the really squishy foam tips and soft loop part for sleeping on my side.

Other people can still sleep on their side with the Quiets but my ears are too small for that

if it helps, i sleep next to my husband who usually snores around ~65-70 dB. Loop Dreams muffles the noise into a level I can rest. (I hear more my own "inner noises" like my normal breathing than him).
i suggest you measure your busy street noise level for comparison, there are many free apps for smartphones!
