Does the brick help in sound insulation from external noise sources, like traffic or neighbors?

Yes, bricks are known for their sound insulation properties. They have a dense structure and high mass, which helps in reducing the transmission of external noise sources such as traffic or neighbors. The mass of the brick absorbs and dissipates sound vibrations, thereby reducing the sound that enters a building. Additionally, the air gaps between bricks also contribute to sound attenuation. Therefore, using brick walls as part of the construction can effectively help in insulating the building from external noise.
