Omg, I feel your pain. I’ve been in several situations that I just couldn’t deal with the noise. It drives me crazy. I get anxious and I can’t focus. One roommate was bothering me so much, I bought a really loud speaker and played loud music all day when I was gone and only turned it off when I got home late night. I did that for a week. It worked but I’m not proud of it and I wish I had behaved more civilized. The most effective is to talk to the people causing the noise, respectfully. Another occasion I had a neighbor really likes partying on the balcony, like every night until 2am. They are a group of young college kids and I’ve called the cops several times. Cops came and left. Next night same, partying. Cops came and left. Again. Same thing. Then I wrote a very formal letter asking them to cooperate with me, I lied and said I just had a baby and asked them to be considerate for me and my baby and they need to move the party somewhere else. I also found out about the number of their landlord and was ready to talk to their landlord about it and the letter worked. Just try different approaches until you can communicate it through that they need to be considerate of others.
