Living on a flat is not that fun. Spain is one of the western countries with more flats instead of individual houses.

And it's reported that a big chunk of Spaniards live with noise issues which affect our health in a negative way.

Hearing your neighbors all the time in the supposed tranquility of your own home can be mind breaking.

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.

The main point is that all people have homes, instead of sleeping and dying under the bridge
