Great suggestion by Sula, you don't want to damage your hearing. Not sure if just getting one pair of noise cancelling headphones will work as well? I'm not sure how well they actually work as I have never tried them.
A bummer about the circumstances, but depending on where you are in your development, you can actually do a lot of fundamental practice stuff in a sketchbook. In fact it will probably make your work in general much better than only doing digital work, so maybe for the annoying times of max distraction, get into the habit of busting out your sketchbook which will allow you to go to another room or the library or anywhere else really. Then do the digital stuff on tv 'off-peak' periods.
The worst compromise is to be forced to enter unhealthy sleep patterns, this is just going to hamstring you in the long run and is not sustainable.
Don't know if this is an option, but maybe talking to you parents about the situation and how it hinders you could result in some other compromise you haven't thought of? Having a quiet comfortable space to work in is important. Communication is key, and if they don't know how important this is to you, they won't specifically do anything to help you.
