Apartments meaning noise issues is an issue of the American implementation of capitalism resulting in construction that doesn't prioritize how nice it is to actually live there. Similar to how the users of a product aren't the ones paying for it. Eg Microsoft Teams. If the incentives were different, the housing would be better constructed and not have noise issues.
I can't imagine a construction where people arguing at max volume or having a loud party at 2am would be insulated for their immediate neighbors. Apartment construction materials vary by state too FYI.
