I'm assuming you are serious about this, so I will
give you what I believe is helpful advice.

White silicone earplugs have worked really well for
me for a lot of applications, from weedwhacking to
camping trips with snorers to wing running a glider
near noisy towplanes.

but Long's drugs has these in the USA also. A white,
fairly clear putty. I always get the ones with the
red round case.

Beyond that, sets of double-paned windows work wonders
against noise pollution. There are limitations (can't
use the screen door anymore) but at least this helps
at night when the house is locked up.

I hope that is helpful.

It is really awful. It is like having a gas powered
lawn mower
above me all day long. As one plane leaves, another
one takes
its place. I am grateful when the evening comes, or
for a rainy
day, so I wont hear them anymore.

Let's get some noise control on these small planes
before we all go
crazy.
