Have always been attached in some way to other properties, so....a Victorian end of terrace, stairs adjoining - never heard any noose whatsoever from next door.
Then into a 1972 brand new build - I could even tell when my neighbour plugged in her electric kettle and she could hear us running a bath.
Then a Edwardian solid end of terrace, (stairs adjoining). No noise whatsoever, very solid walls.
Downsized to a inner terrace 1930's house, yes stairs adjoining, but also main bedrooms adjoining. Not quite as silent as the Edwardian house, could hear a noisy dog when they used to look after their daughters one, but TBH nothing really too bad.
Finally into a flat - very thick stone walls, if anybody is doing any DIY work with a power tool it does reverberate throughout the block - but rules are in place allowing that only during daytime. Have never heard anything else at all from upstairs or adjoining flats.

To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
