I’ve lived in two separate but equal soviet era concrete blocks, and I could count on my three hands the number of times I’ve heard my neighbours do anything. I assume they dropped a neutron star or something.
That is except renovations… the type where they start drilling at 8am and do not stop until 6pm… those are not so rare.
I’m convinced one of our neighbours removed all of their internal walls by using a tiny drill bit to remove that much of one wall at a time. Nothing else can explain weeks of constant drilling.
I guess my point being: they had it figured out 50 years ago (except for renovations).
Seriously. Solid concrete apartments are so impervious to noise that the only times i hear any noise other than them dropping anvils on the floor is when it comes through an open window! I’m more annoyed by people in the room next to me than i am by anyone outside the apartment.
