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)... -- Dana Eckart
