> Now I live in a very soundproof apartment, literally never hear anyone else (our neighbours right next door had a party until 4am with loud music, etc. We didn't hear a thing). I love this now.

Unless your soundproofing is thicker than the bass sound wavelength (10m+) it's not physically possible.

I know people who live in standalone houses and complain about people across the street having parties because bass vibrations come over

It's all very psychological. Good for you though

kids screaming at each other is my psychological breaking point. My sister's fully-detached, really-nice house has neighbours with post-toddler kids that enjoy screaming at each other. It doesn't bother her. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me
