I agree with the others. If you have the rugs down, and it is just "normal" noise - no rollerskates, etc. there is nothing the super or the neighbor can do. It is the neighbor's problem. I'll bet he has asked for his apartment to be soundproofed, and the super would rather get rid of you than spend the money. The next time you see your complaining neighbor, suggest that he should ask for soundproofing!
Also, invest in a tape recorder (or better still a video camera) and get some tape of the noise that comes into your apartment. If your super gets difficult, tell him you have documentary evidence of the noise you are suffering, and you want soundproofing too!
There is a really good website for dealing with neighbors like this - pm me if you want the address.
