It never ceases to amaze me that light (the fastest and most powerful thing in our universe) can be easily blocked whereas sound, being less powerful and slower, is more penetrating.
We can close the blinds/curtains and have total darkness, but try completely blocking the sound from the neighbors in such a simple way, impossible :-)
