I have had good results by using this noise generator: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/cafeRestaurantNoiseGenerat...

This site lets you customize the sounds that are generated. I crank the left ones (bass) up until it drowns the people that are talking around me.

The first minutes are a bit confusing because you are in the middle of a stream of conversations that you are not able to understand. After a few minutes you brain blocks everything, even the real conversation around you. It even works with my regular earbuds.

Sometimes, I put some mall/elevator music (the main artist for those is called Muzak) over it and I really feel like I'm working in a mall's Starbucks.
