7 Control of noise accentuation into accommodation spaces

  7.1 To reduce noise levels in accommodation spaces it may be necessary to consider the isolation of deckhouses containing such spaces from the remaining structure of the ship by resilient mountings.

  7.2 Consideration may also be given to the provision of flexible connections to bulkheads, linings and ceilings and the installation of floating floors within accommodation spaces.

  7.3 The provision of curtains to side scuttles and windows and the use of carpets within accommodation spaces assist in absorbing noise.
