Well I am lucky to have been living alone for a very long time, going on 10 years now except for a 6 month stint a couple of years ago when I lived with my sister. However, I do live in quite the noisy neighbourhood, and I've found the best thing to do is to plug my headphones into my laptop and hit iTunes. Even if it doesn't completely block out all the noise, the music takes up enough of my attention that it doesn't bother me as much. I do plan on building a dream house with a totally sound-proofed study though, how much easier would that be?!
