I’ve lived my entire life in commie blocks and unless my neighbours were renovating I had no issue with noise. However, new apartment building here do have that problem, and it is very noticeable, so maybe the issue isn’t with the concept of an apartment by itself, just the materials used in building them. Commie blocks are thick concrete and rebar.

Yes. Building quality definitely matters, a lot.
Also some people is more sensitive to noise than others.
I have find out that since living alone I notice noises much more, which is reasonable.
