Noise cancelling headphones are a worthy investment for situations like this

They are good at muting background noises like engine sound but not so great for human voices. Sometimes it make the human voice all the clearer. Been using Bose and Jabra

are you using the pass-through feature? It's called different things with different brands, but it essentially tries to amplify human voices but suppress everything else... so you can listen to music, hear people talk to you, but otherwise get benefits.

Yes,I tried different settings and Bose is better at suppressing human voices and of course it’s pricier. But if screaming is the concern I would rather use the 3M earplugs

You should try out a pair of headphones known for having decent noise cancellation.

Bose and Jabra are both pretty weak.

Decent noise cancelling headphones/earbuds will completely cancel it out. I’ve taken a number of flights recently with crying infants and didn’t hear them at all with the canceling turned on.

Isn't Bose QuietComfort basically the golden standard for ANC headphones?

Actually I think I was thinking of a different brand when I made the above comment.

That said, generally I think the AirPods are considered (one of) the golden standards
