I also have this problem but it is an old house. It has the spiral
staircase
leading from the kitchen to the basement. Code required we move the oil
furnace to a spot in the basement , so now all you hear is the oil

was thinking about a trap door to cover the stairs for the purpose of
keeping
some of the furnace noise out.
