You can’t soundproof open Windows. I lived in an insanely soundproof building. You could hear nothing if everyone had their windows closed.

I like fresh air. So did my neighbor with the shrieking parrot.

You could get some of that in a SFH too. It'll be quieter due to the distance though.

Of course. But having done multiple iterations of both, I will never, ever share walls again. With neighbors I can plant a hedge or close the facing windows. It’s not even close.
