Not in my experience. If my neighbor now has a house party, I don’t hear it. Not so anytime I lived in an apartment. In an apartment building my dogs would have to be taken to a community dog park (often small and neglected in many apartment complexes). They have their own small yard here to do that in, and I don’t have to deal with people who bring an entire breakfast meal to the dog park and start fights. I like barriers between me and others.
