Planning to turn my staircase around, wanted to know if there are better ways to mount it to reduce noise, etc.
The staircase is made of plywood or something like that.
Placed between two walls.
Mounted with nails through the stairs into the wall studs.
In other words, as primitive and budget-friendly as it gets, hehe.
Are there any other suggestions, or should I just repeat this?

Is it an advantage or disadvantage if the stairs are against the walls, or conversely, if there is a gap... Considering replacing with thicker wall panels...
Is it only sturdy nails that are suitable, or are there more modern installation methods that reduce vibrations, etc.?

A quick course on what "c/c 450mm" means would be appreciated 
the studs are 55mm wide x 80mm deep with a distance of 545mm between each one...
(so I guess that c/c is the distance between studs)
countersink... the material in the stairs is not directly thick enough to afford such luxury unfortunately..

c/c = center-to-center distance
Since you apparently have a center-to-center distance of 600 mm (which is the most common), you can go with that.
If you have thin vangar (=side pieces), i.e., under 40 mm, you can instead place the screws under the steps, as they're less visible that way. ;-)

center distance from what, are we talking about the staircase width or the studs.... 545 = 600?
I could add more studs, would that make a difference in noise and such?

The distance between the studs is what I mean. You have 545 between them, so the exact center distance is 590 mm (545 + 45). Now I'm assuming it's about 45 mm studs.
If you have the opportunity to place them closer together, it is an advantage and makes the fastening more stable. This means that the risk of creaking is significantly reduced.

yes, both walls will be opened, one already is... so more studs will be added there if needed. then screws..
