It will be quite hard to block the sounds and thoughts for a while, but as with anything, practice makes perfect.
Personally, I would suggest starting every meditation with Void. However, this is optional
Find a place where you are comfortable
Begin by finding a space to look at. This can be on a wall in front of you, anything that draws your attention
Continue to sit and look at this space
Gently steady your breathing, lowering it until it becomes rhythmic
Slowly close your eyes, focus your mind on the blackness and just listen to your breathing
If you hear anything, or any thoughts come into your head, just push them aside...hear them get fainter as they get further away from you
Continue to do this for as long as you can
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes to end the meditation
