I've yet to see an apartment with top-notch sound insulation.

  I think they're rare in America - where even new build has poor construction quality. I lived in one in London where I ran into my neighbour one day and she apologized for her children being absolute hellions that weekend and kicking up a ruckus. Well, I hadn't the slightest idea there was anyone next door at the time. But that was nice construction. Very solid. Good sound insulation. Lived in America since, and I think local construction just doesn't have that standard to it. It's not that British construction is great. It's not. But there's range. Higher end places are better. In San Francisco, by comparison, lots of so-called luxury is rubbish.

  Hah heard that. Amusingly, there is an old mental hospital being revamped into apartments which has 1.5 foot thick concrete walls. It may be the first truly soundproof apartment complex. :)
