Not too far from me in Sunset Pointe an owner is just now nearing completion of a massive "rebuild" of his original frame/siding home, by removing the siding, replacing it with what I'd guess is really "faux" concrete, complete with corner "blocks!" An amazing re-do (and a great deal inside as well).
Point being, he may have decided he liked the "sturdier" feature of CBS.
Mine is CBS. The blocks were filled with insulating foam, so I feel pretty isolated from the elements. And, while not on a thru street nor with noisy neighbors, so a low level of noise, I certainly don't hear much of anything!
