Living near a construction area can be enough to drive you insane. All that loud noise can lead to sleepless mornings and mind numbing afternoons. However, if you are dealing with loud construction noise, there a few easy ways to deal with the mess. Here are a few tips.

Music: play some soothing music to help keep you calm and give your brain something other than the construction noise to focus on.

Hang drapes: hang thick and heavy drapes over your windows to help absorb that outside sound. Doing something this simple can really help to reduce noise.

Sound proof room: create a sound proof room in your apartment to give yourself an area of respite. Combine each of these tips into a room furthest away from the noise. Hanging fabrics will be key.
