I've found this most useful on noisy public transport when attempting to read.

For tonight I had planned to watch some, hopefully, loud action movies. For tomorrow I was going to listen to symphonic metal.
However, the music started 45 minutes ago, and it isn't that loud. A distant rumble. Not enough to use my noise cancelling headphones, though they are charged and ready if the volume goes up.
I have a white noise app on my phone I use occasionally, called White Noise. It's got a lot of white noise sounds, but you can also make you're own by combining several. The sounds are looped but you don't hear the loop, which my brain likes (otherwise I wouldn't fall asleep, I would just be listening to the loop).
