Then maybe develop the concept of a brick wall and social skills.

These types of houses won't protect you from noise. You're never more than 5m away from your neighbors and only separated by cardboard. You will hear them.

I'm currently living in an apartment building from 1910 or so, made from proper bricks. Hardly ever even notice that I have neighbors.

Can confirm. I currently live in the suburbs, with a fairly wide lot (100ft). In the warm months, there is almost never a moment of daylight where I can't hear lawn equipment (lawnmowers, leaf blowers, etc). And my house is well-built and sealed properly. For some reason, everyone thinks they need a giant riding mower or an enormous gas-powered leaf blower. There are lawn service contractors parked on the road almost all the time. The winter months aren't as bad, but snow blowers are out at the slightest hint of snow.

I had a much quieter experience when I lived in an apartment building. It's anecdotal, but it makes sense once you've lived in both.

Yeah, it's almost impossible to build with bricks in California. (Earthquakes)

It's a real shame we don't have any other methods of acoustical insulation...

Then try concrete instead. For European mid-rise firewalls, that‘s pretty much standard.
