Now live in a moderately dense area of city and its honestly the quietest place I've ever lived
I've had this experience too - in (some) cities people seem to be quiet (ish) and considerate. Doesn't get too noisy because everyone knows everyone else can hear them.
I've also had the opposite experience to be fair :)

No just a big old house.
We used to live in a farmhouse thats ground floor rooms dated from approx 1560, many additions and changes, mostly in 1750-1800 region. Ground floor walls were jumbo. Back then they used to use the BIG ASS ROCK foundation method*
*Find biggest rock possible to move with a team of humans and horses. Drag big ass rock until next to other big ass rocks in a sort of box shape. Leave big ass rocks to sink into ground over a season or two. Then start building a house on top of them. Kinda funny that Machu Pichu is less old than our crusty old farmhouse was. Don't live there anymore, spend 7 years on that pile and never got finished, endless work and then the neighbouring two farms both sold out to developers so ended up surrounded on nearly 3 sides by tiny box houses right against boundary with constant tiny box house assholes being assholes. Now live in a moderately dense area of city and its honestly the quietest place I've ever lived.
