I'm testing out a set of ear plugs right now while my floormates are hanging out in the hallway. Two notes on ear plugs. #1: If you have tinnitus (aka ringing in your ears) it makes it a lot worse. All you can hear in your head is the ringing. #2: If people in the hallway are using it as a soccer field, earplugs will not dampen the noise completely. Plus you'll feel the vibrations of the tromping around in the hallway through the floor.
Hopefully they'll work when the inevitable next party happens. I'll keep you posted. :)

I occasionally resort to ear plugs when working in the library. Also at home during football season. They don't make things more quiet so much as the smooth out the sound to something more like white noise. Helpful against gossiping undergrads and sports commentators, not so much against hallway soccer tournaments.
