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.

FWIW, I found that an air purifier produced exactly the level of white noise I needed. Obviously, not a very flexible device, but I didn't need flexible, I just needed a steady source of soft noise to mask noisy neighbors.

And this way I also have clean air.
