Sounds like the builder cheaping out. I live in an apartment and we have never heard anything through the walls. If the neighbor yells, like actually screams, we can hear it through the door. I do think the doors could be heavier.
Too true. I had relatives sell parts of their building off as condos. Fully soundproofed. Nice places. One guy tore out all his floor sound proofing during an aesthetic floor renovation. Then sued after because he didn’t like the new noise.
This. The only time I hear anything through the shared wall is kids running up and down the stairs. Even yelling barely comes through and you need your side to be very quiet to hear it.
