The acoustical design of hotels encompasses a wide variety of issues including control of exterior noise, control of noise from plumbing, HVAC and elevators, sound isolation between guestrooms, isolation of music from entertainment areas, room acoustics of ballrooms and meeting rooms and effective design of movable walls. Many of these issues are equally important for convention centres.
