I too would like to imagine a 5/1 with decent noiseproofing.

unpopular opinion: using 5-over-1 apartment buildings, which, for all their flaws, are new buildings with decent HVAC and noiseproofing, as defacto noise barriers between busy roads and residential neighborhoods isn't as bad an idea as people think it is if whats on the other side is okay/walkable

The recently-built 5-over-1s I've lived in over the past few years here in Seattle have pretty weak noiseproofing and the HVAC is "you can open the windows if you want"

Interipr noiseproofing between units is another issue with open ceilings and floor plans.

But I am so dedicated both to soundproofing and to the comfort that is bookshelves that this is a photo of the noiseproofing shutters Jennie built for my studio window.
