Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question

The continuous drone of road noise outside our new flat is keeping me awake. Which earplugs work best? My colleague says foam ones are not worth even the few pence they cost. Are silicone ones better? Do those cheap plastic window coverings cut out most noise? Or will I have to spend thousands on triple glazing?

What do you think?
