Especially in the case of buildings in lightweight construction, e.g. with a supporting structure made of wood, the subject of impact sound is of high relevance.
If, in particular, the footfall sound of wooden ceilings is insufficiently insulated, listening in is unavoidable and every step of the neighbour is disturbing.
