ᐅ Hollow bricks and soundproofing – looking for experiences

Hello,
we are planning to build our house using unfilled Unipor bricks. Since the plot is in a quiet location, we had no concerns about sound insulation so far. However, a construction company advised me against this because internal noise could also be a problem.
Does anyone have a house built with unfilled bricks? If yes, which bricks and what thermal insulation value do they have? Are there any issues with sound insulation?
Thank you very much!

I am with @tomtom79. Concrete could also be an alternative.

Concrete would still be an option as well

I thought of you and my boss, then I thought about my wallet and realized I probably won't be building a second house.

@tomtom79 never say never
I also plan to build a single-family house for us just once.

We have these bricks

May I ask which bricks you have exactly? Which brand, and what exact type? And which bricks are you using for the interior walls? Do you think the disturbing noises come from the hollow exterior bricks or rather from the interior walls? Thank you very much!

I also have hollow bricks and am not impressed at all.

May I ask which bricks exactly you have (brand, type)?
Thank you very much!

T9 by Turber. I can’t say for sure, but by now I would simply go with the filled ones, if only for peace of mind so I don’t have any regrets later… Mass is simply the best protection against sound. Just tap on one of these bricks… they are quite hollow.
