I have an upstairs neighbor who generates a ton of noise through the ceiling at all hours. I don't know whether this apartment just sucks at insulating the noise of normal activity or if he's just inconsiderate and horsing around. I'm inclined to think the latter due to the fact that the noise he makes is often accompanied by yelling "WHOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!" I basically hate the little fvcker.

Does your city have a noise ordinance? In my city after 10pm there cannot be loud noises either from people, TV, computer, radio or whatever.
If someone is making noise after 10pm I polite knock on their door and remind them of the ordinance. If they continue, I call the police.
First, don't live in ghetto apartments. Realize that the sound of ugly a$$ neighbors having loud sex is a lot worse than some retard jumping up and down on the floor above you. Trust me, scarring from the former is much worse than simply getting pissed off from the latter.
Second, do what I did with a noisy neighbor one time. When you hit the breaking point, take your stereo speakers, hold or place them up near the roof and play the theme from 2001 A Space Odyssey at the highest possible volume.
It was such a neighbor that finally spurred me into buying a house many years ago..
I never liked hearing people walking around up there. I'm amazed by how heavily some people walk. They stomp around. I must walk on my toes or something. Can't hear me at all.
A lot of apartments have no insulation between floors, which sucks. They should be built with at least two layers of drywall to deaden sound. Even that won't stop noise coming through penetrations (ducts) and stuff like that.
Maybe move to the top floor. I dunno. Good luck.
