No, they are not. Imagine some construction work with heavy drilling outside your bedroom window.

Imagine if, with advances in materials science, that it was. Could we make a 3 meter cube that was acoustically isolated from the rest of the world? Then they could do all the heavy drilling they want.

In this case, it's not just sound vibrations but vibrations that you can feel in your house and bed! Truly difficult. Double or staggered stud walls really help.
