ᐅ Are prefabricated houses generally prone to sound transmission?

We visited the model home park in Fellbach near Stuttgart, and I am very disappointed with the interior walls.
All the prefabricated houses we looked at had hollow-sounding walls (knock test), and in most of them, you could easily hear people in the neighboring room or even conduct a simple test yourself. It almost felt like the walls were made of drywall panels.
I definitely cannot imagine living in a house like that. Just a phone call from the daughter late at night in the kids' room is enough to get annoyed. And I don’t even want to think about the noise from late-night activities in the parents’ bedroom...
Are prefabricated houses generally that poorly soundproofed inside? That can’t be the standard!?

Aerated concrete is not really known for good sound insulation Multi-layered - and partition walls between units are always constructed this way - the "heavy" Ytong blocks perform reasonably well. But otherwise, sound insulation with Ytong tends to be rather poor in comparison.
