I live in a typical chicago 2-flat, on the second floor. The downstairs neighbors work during the day, whilst I am retired. Their dog has never complained about my afternoon listening sessions.
These older, well-built structures are fairly decent when it comes to noise between units, too. I can listen any time day or night at a "reasonable" level - loud enough to be enjoyable, like ~87 dB at my listening position, without bothering anyone downstairs. I think the plaster-on-lath ceiling of the unit below is quieter than modern drywall-on-joist ceilings.
In the past, I have lived in buildings that were converted from industrial spaces to housing.... 14 inch reinforced concrete floors, brick firestop walls... There was a jazz quartet that practiced next door, but it was over a year before I knew they were there. So there are LOTS of apartment-style living situations where one can enjoy hifi. Not everything is built crackerbox style.
Science doesn't care what you believe.
