House price with time per construction method

In my mate’s new build townhouse, when standing in his utility room, you can hear his neighbour taking a pi55 in the toilet that obviously adjoins the room next door.

Brick for me.

It's the same for us, thankfully only the flushing sound, through the 9 inch solid walls through to next doors toilet under the stairs, so timber frame doesn't have a monopoly on sound transmission. Although it's certainly easier to make a bad job of it!

And thats just the neighbours missus.

That shouldn't be the case in a new build house. Walls between dwellings of whatever construction should provide a certain level of sound insulation (decibel reduction ) to comply with bldg. regs.
