At this point I'd add OP needs a little neurological insight, if he wants to sleep through the noise.
I used to travel a lot for business. I'd often sleep in noisy hotels. The recommendation then was to play a radio detuned a bit from the station. The dull meaningless noise would mask the external noises and sleep would come easy.
These days I just play Stephen Fry reading Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes".
My audio book app goes to sleep after 20 minutes. If I'm still awake, I hear it play a ping 1 minute before it fades out and pauses. If I then shake my phone - the app detects the shake and resets the timer clock to 20 minutes. I've never heard the second ping
