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.
