Noisy? My apartment? Not really. I've been lucky that my building was a built around or maybe even before WWII. The walls are thick and don't carry much sound. I use earplugs at night, but I also did when I was still living in the marital house.
The one thing here is the occasional annoyance of someone deciding to blast music in their car outside my office window. (The parking lot is not far.) It usually does not last, however.
I've been in much worse situations when I was studying. Some of my neighbors thought nothing about blasting music well into the night. :catangry:
