I recommend a white noise machine. I'm sensitive to noise and live in an apartment with a fair amount of noise coming through from other places. Running a fan helped a lot, but the air was annoying at times too. You can get white noise machines for like 20 dollars, although I can't vouch for quality. Mine cost ~$60.

Likewise good quality earplugs and/or noise-cancelling headphones.
