I have had to move like 6 times in 2 years due to this issue. Only, its normally them yelling and it showing up in as background noise on cam, which I CAN'T have. I would move asap. There's nothing you can do unless a.) you have at least 1-2k extra cash lying around to *try* and soundproof as much as possible (if you're on top of anyone's apt you're kind of screwed :-/) and b.) your landlord will allow you to tear the walls open and add in insulation which is also costly.
Here's what I have learned during my 2 year disaster:
- don't live in a guest house because you will never be able to get fast enough internet speeds
- don't sign more than like a 3 month lease max, because 3 days after you move in, loud ass partying college kids might move in next door & party+scream all day and night
- only live in a bottom story apartment because otherwise your neighbors will definitely hear you
- your best bet is to rent a large room in a house with a bedroom that shares no walls with any other bedroom. the least # of roommates you have, the better. preferably just 1 so you can work around their 9-5 job most of the time
