Well if you want something that'll drown noise. . . Buy a fish pump. Plug it in and that's all you hear instead of anything outside. It's what my cousin used when in the college dorms.
Try it out in the store, first. It's a noisy motor hum. They're not that expensive and I bet anywhere that sells fish - Wal-Mart and other stores would carry them. Glad you liked the idea!

Excited to try it. I just want water.....New to Vegas
It's probably passing right through the brick. Single pane windows with storms aren't helping much, either.
When I gutted my house, it was framed with used 2x8's turned the wrong direction and padded to make a 4" wall cavity that was insulated with cellulose batts. 8" of wood makes a really good thermal bridge and sound bridge. If a neighbor was cutting their lawn, it sounded like the lawnmower was in my living room. I ripped that out, re-framed and insulated properly, and the noise problem went away without doing anything to the windows.
You need to decouple the brick from the drywall. If it's brick and 2x4 with 1960's insulation, remove the drywall, nail horizontal 1.5"x1.5" crosshatch, insulate, and screw the drywall into the horizontal crosshatch. It's often called a Mooney Wall.
So Alpha ! Love it.
