    It wouldn't be permanent because I doubt I'd be able to. If it were up to me I'd fill the entire thing with concrete blocks.

    Very thick curtains in front of your windows. Helps somewhat.

    Other than that...do nothing, a few weeks and you'll get used to the sounds so they'll won't bother you anymore.
    Abandon all hope.

    Foam mattresses might work if you cut them into shape and tape them up.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I may try the curtains, foam, and egg crates.
