Have you considered fixing the problem, rather than patching the
symptom?

Won't work. ...unless those layers are stuffed in your ears.

If (and it's a big IF) the pipe noise is due to the need for a pressure
regulator, you MIGHT find it's cheaper to have a plumber install one,
compared to your soundproofing idea. Did you landlord have a plumber take a
look at the situation? Is there a regulator in place? They generally look
like this one:

If you insist on pursuing the soundproofing idea, you may as well do it
right, with products like this:

...and he doesn't mind you adding all sorts of "soundproofing"?
Have you thought about moving?

He's lying or confused.
