How soundproof were they? I’m in an apartment with shitty drywall and sometimes I hear my neighbors fart.

As far as I knew I never even had neighbors or I at least never heard any.

I'm living in a soviet-built tenement block, and the only time I've heard anything from a neighbour is when the guy living above me dropped a bowling ball.

This is universal for all buildings. But I only hear when neoghbours do renovation and wall-penetrating ear-piercing baby cries.

Not from Eastern Europe, but from India. Most buildings are made from bricks. Good enough to block most of the sound from adjacent apartment.

In fact, some builders started using drywalls and there has been a pushback because drywall is considered poor quality material by people here. Which it absolutely is when the country has 4 months of monsoon every year. Drywall doesn't play well with moisture, does it?
