Best material to use to absorb the sound?

I have a digital piano in my room above another house mate. Unfortunately the sound of me hitting the keys (not the sound through my headphones) is transferred through the piano stand, through the floor boards and through the ceiling of my house mate living below me.

I've tried folding some thick socks under each leg of the stand though the sound still transfers.

What is the best to hand material to use to absorb this kind of sound? What's better, books or socks, or cardboard? Or what else can I use that I may have lying around?

And if none of this is ideal, what long term solution is there?

    Wow, you must be following in the footsteps of Jerry Lee Lewis if that's loud enough to bother your housemate....

    The padding should go on top of the stand, in contact with the piano.
