    Ive heard that might be a materials issue. The apartment I stayed in had great sound proofing. I think its just lazy cheap builders, or whoever commissions their buildings.

      I have no issues with my neighbors to either side of me. Either they’re quiet or the walls separating us are decent enough to block it.

      My issue seems to mostly come via the windows. Even closed, I can hear far too much.

      I should clarify my original comment - I’m currently living in a townhouse (first time) and we’re already trying to sell to get the hell out of here and back into what we’re used to, a single-family home. I now understand why people hate them so much. I should have known from my time living in an apartment when I was younger.
