Red face How much will a QUIET place cost me in rent?

I am offered a job for 10K gross a month and I am a bit worried that I would be spending too much of my salary on rent.

I am European and currently I spend maybe 1/3th of my NET income on living.
I already know I will not be able to do this in Singapore because rents are relatively way higher in SG.

What I would like to hear is an estimation of what will be my renting costs.
I go with my wife and no kids.

But more importantly I find it extremely important to live in a quiet place.
Traffic noise I don't mind, but slamming doors, footsteps or phonecalls of neighbours annoy the hell out of me. To a point where I decided I will never put myself in this situation again. It could be a condition called misophonia, but I don't know.

This does mean I have to pay up to live in either a very soundproof building or live on the top floors.

Any idea whether this is doable in SG?
