Got anything constructive to add?
I did say it was a SUBJECTIVE improvement, it makes sense to me and went with it.
To each their own eh?

Earplugs really do give an excellent nvh improvement.

Do they improve the feel, rigidity, performance etc ?

Nitro suggested the ear plugs for NVH I reckon that would work - but that raises another question ; would delrin ear plugs work better?

No, they'd limit movement of the ears too much.

They'd be more expensive and exclusive than regular earplugs, so I'd bet I could convince people they are better.

Had a few rattles so looked at the rubber bushes. Adjusted them and no more rattles. By golly it does sound nice now.
