I have a street in front of my bedroom and I'm wondering how well ANC earbuds work in that case. Will it be completely silent or will there still be some kind of whoosh-sound?

A large quantity of disposable earplugs is so cheap that I'd recommend you try that before investing time and money into ANC earbuds.

My spouse snores loudly, and a $15 container of 50 pairs has lasted more than 2 years, and saved our ability to co-sleep (I was only a couple nights away from moving to our guest room). We're also on a street with a very permissive speed limit, and we're under the approach path of the nearby airport, and it's never a problem.

It won’t be completely silent, if only because ANC always comes with low-level white noise.

I second the disposable earplugs recommendations.
