I can understand how you feel.  I used to have the same problem
with an old roommate (although my bedroom was not directly under
his, but on the same floor).

The 'only' way I was able to deal with it was to introduce some
interference (such as a TV set or a stereo).  It doesn't have to
be loud (in fact I wouldn't suggest that you try to blow them out
with sound unless you want to create friction :-)), but just enough
so that you can hear it over the ... ahem .... noise.  The idea is
to get your mind to pay closer attention to something else.

Hope it works (or at least helps)...
