    Not hsving to share a wall with your neighbor is probably one of the selling points of that design.

      That’s what happens when you build out of cardboard. Somehow that has never been a problem in all the concrete apartments I have lived in my country in Europe.

        You know how dumb you sound calling sheet wood cardboard? Would you let me hit you with a piece of the “card board” and then we can discuss the difference?

          It was obviously hyperbole. When it comes to soundproofing, sheet wood is about as effective as cardboard, though.

            Probably even worse; cardboard (like used for boxes) has a lot of air pockets in it, whereas a ‘solid’ wooden board probably adds resonance.

            It wasnt even hyperbole, I live in a house made of actual cardboard siding. Like you’re just making fun of poor people and being ignorant, unoriginal, and not funny. I’m certain you have enough wit to come up with an original joke that makes sense.

            Right, but you’re forgetting siding --> air gap—>sheetwood----> studbay with foam or glass----> drywall. Thats 4 layers of material to absob soundwaves and displace them. So again it just is a silly joke, its older than you are, find some better material. As i originally stated saying that makes you sound like an ignorant asshole. We also will do offset studbays to increase the material and differentiate the sound path. The engineering is cool. If you’d stop acting like a smart ass you might find it interesting.

            No because I can tell you the difference between a brick and a stone, I’m just asking if I can hit you with a couple pieces of cardboard. Or maybe just interest you in some basic engineering?

              We also use sheet wood in Europe frequently, so we’re very familiar with it. We just don’t use it for our outer walls and load bearing parts of a structure.

                We also don’t use it for load bearing parts of the structure? Thats the wood studs. wood siding helps with lateral forces and makes the load bearing parts rigid. I’ve been seeing the cardboard joke for 30 years now and im stuck in a house with actual cardboard siding, because again sheathing isn’t load bearing. Its crazy that americans built $20,000 mobile homes and housed all the rural poor in them, its crazy they had cardboard walls. but again this was all 30+ years ago, we build things better now, ya’ll can retire the joke, the only people living in cardboard houses are like me, poor and destitute with no other options.

                DELETED BY THE CREATOR AS HE DISCOVERED WHAT HYPERBOLE IS AND THERE’S MORE THAN ONE USE. Feels bad doesnt it? Silly child. Imagine using hyperbole to respond to hyperbole and getting a downvote swarm AND a link to hyperbole. Get a life.

                  Welll, if you’re gonna be like that, fine, I’ve undeleted it. Jesus dude. Chill the fuck out. You’re getting downvoted because you’re being a belligerent dickhead over nothing.

      Those walls aren’t going to be stopping sound any better than an apartment wall.

      edit: Jesus Christ people don’t understand that cheap ass tiny homes 8 foot apart with no sound barriers really is comparable to apartment walls because the air gap is tiny as fuck and sound is absolutely going to bleed through those cheap ass walls and windows. It is Texas where they don’t require that much insulation which would reduce sound in a cooler climate.

      A well built apartment building is going to bleed far less sound. I have never heard my neighbors through the walls in my current apartment, which is at least 40+ years old when they built decent ones, and barely heard them through walls when I lived in post 2000 cheap as construction.

          Yes, and the materials and build quality matters in my universe.

          Those tiny homes are like 8 foot apart with no landscaping which makes the gap far less effective than your example.

            Nothing says build quality and material quality quite like “affordable housing”. It must be nice being in a universe where everyone can afford quality and modern housing!

          Through solid objects and the air.

          These things look cheaply built which means the windows and walls are not soundproofed or anything like that and you will hear everything going on outside because every wall is an exterior wall. An apartment trades the barely effective 6 foot air gap for slightly heavier construction which reduces sound between apartments.

          Source: Have lived in cheaply built homes and apartments. Currently live in a decent apartment where the sound doesn’t bleed over from adjoining apartments but does come right in through the windows.

            As opposed to a cheaply built apartment? Why are they soundproofing the apartment walls and not the housing walls? Do you guys know we have building codes and standards?
