In London I used to live in one of those flats by Tower Bridge, by the water, and one day my neighbour apologized to me while we were in the lift about the noise her kids had been making all weekend. I'd been sick that weekend and stayed home and heard not a thing. Most of the time, the most noise was the Thames lapping against the wharf. Quite pleasant, really. I never actually heard my neighbours, to be honest, except if we were both out on the balcony talking.
