Go live somewhere that’s dying, but doing so slowly enough that it doesn’t bother you (e.g. most suburbs).
You become a nimby. Everything is an assault to you and can just have to constantly fight.
Gary, Indiana is pretty quiet when it comes to construction!

Gunshots? Not so much.

start tearing up your house and soundproofing (sorry renters)
Sounds like construction!

Seriously, though, I do think soundproofing is significantly underused and even undertaken in most residential construction. And at times have thought anyone for increasing density needs to start there.

wear noise cancelling headphones
Yo dawg I've heard you don't like noise? Put headphones with counter noise so you will not listening noise while not listening noise...
He said he dislikes noise, not all sound. If he hates all sound he's out of luck in life in general.
