A lot of people donât want to share walls.
âHey uh, I have 3 loud kids and a wife who is loud during sex. Wanna be my neighbor?â
Then maybe develop the concept of a brick wall and social skills.
These types of houses wonât protect you from noise. Youâre never more than 5m away from your neighbors and only separated by cardboard. You will hear them.
Iâm currently living in an apartment building from 1910 or so, made from proper bricks. Hardly ever even notice that I have neighbors.
Yeah, itâs almost impossible to build with bricks in California. (Earthquakes)
Reading this thread has taught me that soundproofing a shared wall isnât possible in America.
