Ha! Cob is like as old as history. Im sure there are other reasons. When you add sprinklers wood isn't a bad choice especially for making modifications later. Adding a wiring/outlets/making modifications is a lot easier to.
- chrisseaton 5y agoDo you not have a problem with noise when all your walls are just hollow wood frames?
- lazide 5y agoIf you share walls with neighbors? Sometimes though modern buildings no. Gaps and other engineered voids cut that out. I had more issues in Singapore with concrete construction and noise than with a modern townhome and shared walls.
- nemo44x 5y agoDepends on the construction. Older holes used plaster and lath. Modern dry wall is pretty good at dead ending sound as well. If there’s an issue with sound then you can install dampening material in the wall or floor. You’re more likely to have noise travel through vents though. In some places with high humidity though you want the home to breath to prevent mold, etc. Otherwise it gets damp and stays damp.
