I like hearing my neighbors singing while I fall asleep.
I live in an apartment building, and my bedroom is separated from the next-door unit only by a thin wall. The person who lives there stays up quite late and likes to sing to himself at obscene hours. At first this was a distraction and made it difficult to sleep, but I don't mind any more. In fact, it's kind of soothing, like a lullaby or a noise-machine or something. It helps me nod right off.

I always erect a wall of sound before I go to sleep. Music, audiobooks, some long ass YT let's play.
My list of worst neighbor sounds are
(1) Hammer drills. These really make me want to commit sudoku.
(2) Loud sex when I'm alone and horny (which honestly is 99.9% of the time)
(3) Acute psychosis/alcoholics in serious withdrawal. They scream like wild animals.
Never had a problem with people flushing their toilets, taking a shower or cooking. Those are just sounds that remind me I'm not alone.

All the flats I've ever lived in have had thick concrete walls. I barely hear it if my neighbour plays the piano (though drilling and mutts barking still make it through), and I often voice chat at night, drunk. Still haven't had angry neighbours behind my door.
As long as you don't talk to your neighbours, there's nothing wrong with flats.

Remember that people with annoying neighbours have the most reason to post on here and complain about it, everyone else are probably alright with their neighbours. I'm one of them, we live in a building where, yeah, from time to time you can hear someone else doing something, but we also know everyone in the building to some degree (mostly acquaintance level) and that sort of helps. "Oh it's just so and so doing that thing again...". To me it's a comfort knowing there's life around me.

It’s survivorship bias. Millions of more people have fine neighbors, but never post about them, because they have no reason to

What does he sing? If he sings well, I could see that being quite nice. If not, he'll probably get better.
I had a neighbor that used to mix beats and rap constantly. He SUCKED at first. But over the course of a year he improved significantly. It was cool — he started out with basically no skilll or material and ended up with a decent set.

He's not good, but to me that's not an issue really because its not as piercing and it sounds more like just noise.
