We built to KFW55 standard and accordingly installed triple-glazed windows with a low U-value. And it already annoys me when working in the office if the neighbor has his Makita job site radio on while gardening. It’s not even set particularly loud, but you can hear the bass through, kind of like how you used to hear 1970s tube TVs through the wall in old apartments. Whether that can block out kids screaming from the playground, I don’t know, but I wouldn’t count on it. And especially outside, there’s nothing that protects you. Yesterday we were at a playground with the little one, and I glanced over at the adjacent house and thought, “wow, I wouldn’t want to live there.” I can only recommend that you go to a playground on a sunny Sunday afternoon to get an impression. Kids don’t play moderately. In groups, they really crank it up and scream a lot. I don’t think you can complain about that afterwards either, since it’s just part of the nature of things. So you should really think carefully about whether you can handle that before buying property. :)Certainly from a building regulations perspective. Whether that's enough for you, only you can judge.
