There’s no 100% solution. If voices are bothering you it’s entirely possible that you could spend a crapload of money and effort and still be hearing them.

I'm ok with muffled voices as long as earplugs can block them for the most part. Right now, the noise is so loud earplugs don't do much to help. I wonder if we can have a pro come take a look to give us some specific recommendations and set clear expectations for results. B/c obviously it would suck to spend a bunch of money if we still have trouble sleeping in the end.

Have you tried a white noise machine?

Yes, but it only does so much, and my wife hates it lol... I usually end up wearing noise cancelling headphones over my earplugs, but obviously it's not very comfortable to wear long term
