I've lived in multiple of them, and they were often about the same or better than more "traditional" apartments in the area. Usually way lower energy costs than the traditional units. About the same amount of noise for a given build quality, it mostly depended on who lived in the neighboring units.

There were sprinklers in every apartment I've lived in. Building codes in my area require them in any structure with multiple households sharing the structure. Townhouses, apartments, commercial buildings, etc. all have sprinklers everywhere. It doesn't matter if its a high rise or a duplex, if it was built since like the early 90s its got sprinklers.
