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.
