I can't get too deeply into this as it pertains to Ann Irie and her family who were all right next door at the time of the murders. But I will say this:Reading further on the thread I see that the soundproofing on the house was very poor, and @FacelessPodcast's investigators found it was largely useless. In that case the information in my previous post is relevant to the overall topic of soundproofing, but probably doesn't really apply to the Miyazawa home.
Saving face is very important in Japan; if neighbours did in fact hear something, they could either deny it, or they would have to admit they heard something and did nothing--which would be very shameful, if not outright suspicious.
The TMPD did detailed experiments on sounds. And as I understand it, the fact that a ladder can be heard but that in all the violent, almost unhinged stabbings, not one single other peep was heard? That sounds like it was a problem for investigators.
