Hello,
is it actually irrelevant for soundproofing what material the house is made of? Because usually, the standard window with less than 40 dB is almost always weaker than the wall itself.
Does a good dB value for a specific wall construction even provide any benefit?

I rarely understand these discussions because everyone has a choice, right? What honestly annoys me the most is that everyone wants to live right in the center, with the best access to trains, buses, and highways, but expects the noise to simply disappear. That doesn’t work—not even in the 21st century. This won’t be solved by the rise of electric cars either, because other problems will arise. At the moment, you simply don’t hear these vehicles.But that’s exactly why people focus on noise protection, isn’t it? Not just to complain, but to upgrade their homes so that the external noise is minimized and they can still live in a noisy central area.
Precisely because of such tactics—buying land cheaply next to an existing or future noise source, not including any noise protection, and then suing later to enforce it—there should be full understanding when urban planning requires substantial noise protection measures on the building itself.
It is clear that this does not help in the garden. But anyone who knowingly settles near a noise source has to accept the consequences...

I’m curious about your living situation. Is everyone here living next to busy roads or railway lines? Noise insulation was a big concern for us as well, and it’s hard to get reliable information about it. The architect just said, “Don’t worry about it”—well, okay. In the end, we chose soundproof windows with sound insulation class III for certain windows, and that gives us some peace of mind. It was worth it just for that.
