Wood development has changed a lot, even before mass timber or CLT.
There's usually a concrete layer poured now, which wasn't the case in older wood construction.
I imagine mass timber layers will be much thicker than typical wood frame construction and likely have the concrete layer as well.
Concrete is still best (from a sound perspective) but not all wood are created equal.
