Well, my previous home had ALL of the interior walls insulated, and it
was MUCH quieter than my current home that doesn't have ANY interior
walls insulated.

Again, it depends on what was actually done. As someone else noted,
it's mass and isolation that do sound deadening effectively, and a
simple fiberglass batt doesn't accomplish much of either.

That's not to say one can't do effective sound isolation, but it has to
be more than simply adding 3" pink glass in a tubafor wall to be of much
benefit. So, your builder apparently knew what were doing and took some
steps.

As noted earlier, that's what I presumed (perhaps erroneously, he's not
come back w/ a real clarification when asked that I've seen so far) OP
had as that's what I ran into most frequently.
