This is the true issue. The const of construction doubles to make these things truly soundproof. No one ever does that. Even if you design it that way it’s the first thing the owner removes in VE.
Ha ha yeah, in theory at lot of things are great - I’ve been in a lot of new build appartments recently and you can hear the neighbours in all of them, they’re expensive ones too
Better than listening to your upstairs neighbor beating his wife. I would call the cops, but they couldn’t do anything unless she pressed charges, and she never would. We would get quiet for a couple of days though, but then he’d be doing it again.
the only time i hear any neighbours are when they’re either outside, or the upstairs neighbours drop a fucking anvil on the floor, then i hear a slight “thunk”.
I know this is a joke but I wanna hijack this comment to say you could spread out the housing a little to not be apartments but still only take like 30%

Yeah but then I gotta listen to my upstairs neighbor make tik toks.
In a well made apartment building you cant hear anything from your neighbors.
Nobody makes well made apartment buildings within 99% of our pay grades

What’s a well made apartment building?
One where you can’t hear your neighbors.

And I live in a cheap one where you can’t. It’s not impossible.

But what if your neighbour shoots porn?
