That's not even remotely true, lol.

Townhomes that have been built in the last 40 years or so, have a firewall in between the two homes, to prevent the spread of fires from one townhome to another (much older townhomes in beach communities may have shared walls, but that's not true of any townhouse built since the 1980's).

Building code requires townhomes to have a firewall separating units.

The firewalls in a townhouse are fire-resistant barriers that are built between & through buildings, walls, structures and electrical substation transformers.

There are NO shared walls anywhere in a townhouse with the neighbors on either side.

Each townhome has their own wall that may back up to one another, but they don't touch because in between each of the two walls, there is an thick layer of fireproofing/firewall that also works as a sound barrier.
Thus it would be practically impossible to hear what the pp just described.
