Activity Rm GA160 dB(A)≤45 dB(A)Yes4.2–7.6
Note(s):

Values report the daytime mean LAeq (07:00–21:59) across the monitoring period, with the standard deviation (daily) calculated from 1-minute LAeq on each monitored day (late Sep–early Oct 2024). Bedroom (GB3) has a relatively stable with lower variability, while communal spaces (lounges, dining rooms and activity rooms) naturally have greater dynamic range and higher variability
