and if we're talking about a real highrise then good luck trying to change a door or window frames there to soundproof ones.
Anyways i'm not trying to convince anyone, but after more than 30 years spent in different types of appartments i'm pretty happy in my own house.
- anarazel 10y agoI live in a relatively new apartment building in SF; and it's fairly well isolated (against sound). I've heard people from above my floor once, and just barely; it sounded like they were moving heavy furniture, i.e. not something you do regularly. If I play music in my apartment I can barely hear it standing directly in front of my apartment's door. They're constructing a bunch more additional buildings nearby, and some of them are the wood style you reference, and others look more solid. FWIW, even with a mostly wood based construction, you can still insulate well. It just takes the desire to do so.
