Buying a non-courtyard house offers very little protection from these noises. I would not rule out courtyard villas just because of potential noise. If you really want to avoid noise, buy 10 acres somewhere else.
The difference is with designer homes, there is more space between you and your neighbor so a barking dog is less of an issue. In villas you are much closer to your neighbor.
