Why Can’t I Ever Find a Quiet Hotel When Traveling?
Hotel soundproofing often disappoints due to relaxed building codes, cost-saving construction methods like lightweight walls, and lenient standards for doors and windows. Locations in noisy urban areas, internal noise from HVAC and appliances, and plumbing layouts further contribute to the issue. Travelers may also be more sensitive to noise in unfamiliar surroundings. Tips for a quieter stay include choosing higher floors, rooms away from noisesources, and bringing earplugs.
