In the handful of concrete buildings I’ve lived in both old and new they’ve all been the same. Nothing super-new though. Maybe the newest I’ve lived in was built 15 years ago or so.
My main boomer opinion is agreeing that “they don’t build em like they used to”
they literally don’t, this is 90% capitalism’s fault, 10% “the way they used to build 'em substantially reduced the life expectancy of everyone involved”, depending on the 'em in question

My building is relatively new, concrete and steel construction, and my neighbor could take up chainsaw sculptures and I wouldn’t know.
Those wooden 5-over-1s where the wood is actually sawdust and oil though? Yeah those let a lot of noise through.
