Nice coat of paint

But nothing can isolate those things, you can hear your neighbors breathing

First, not a coat of paint that is solid 20cm of styrofoam on the outside and that increases the energy efficiency of heating greatly;

Second, yes, they are loud and usually smell of sauerkraut but keep in mind these things we not made to be the perfect living space with all comforts, these things are a solution to homelessness and they are WILDLY successful in that. They are dirt cheap to make, making them dirt cheap to buy(at least in the beginning) and very space effective for housing large quantities of people.

So the question in essence is not would you prefer a commie block to a modern luxury apartment, but weather you will prefer it to being homeless.

But without homelessnes how will you scare huge chunks of population into working harder?

I see you've never lived in an apartment. Sure, these aren't soundproof. However, they were made of concrete. It's better than the US apartment made out of drywall and prayers. Still, I prefer one of these in a livable area than an isolated house you have to drive to get anywhere.

Commie blocks aren't perfect, but they solve a lot of issues, and they were cheap. They were made for communities, being built in areas with access to everything else you needed to live. There's never going to be a perfect solution, and anything like this is going to have an issue with hearing your neighbors. That's just a compromise that has to be made to get the many advantages.
