Does anyone have any ideas if this is because there is nothing left in
the house or should there be that much noise?

I had a very similar thing (although it didn't bother me) in a doors-
together mid-terrace. The sound was carrying through under the
floorboards, as the void beneath was continuous between the houses.
You're probably hearing it 'cos you have no carpets during renovations.

Stuffing the voids under the party wall with loft insulation made a big
difference, as did putting down carpets with a thick underlay.
