| − | + | Certain jobs generate '''noise''' which disturbs nearby sleeping dwarves. Depending on a job's noise level and proximity, your dwarves could sleep "uneasily due to noise", "very uneasily due to noise", or be woken up by noise. These events will produce unhappy [[Thought|thoughts]] in varying degrees. | |

Neither walls nor doors will insulate dwarves from noise. Distance and how loud a job is are the only factors determining whether a dwarf's sleep will be disturbed. | Neither walls nor doors will insulate dwarves from noise.

Noise is produced when a noisy job is completed. Thoughts about noise do not appear until the sleeping dwarf has woken up. | Noise is produced when a noisy job is completed. Thoughts about noise do not appear until the sleeping dwarf has woken up. | ||

| − | + | * Jobs performed at [[workshops]] cause noise within 4 tiles. | |
| − | + | * Eating is believed to cause noise within 1 tile. It is unknown whether the noise radiates from the eating dwarf or his food. | |
| − | + | * Moving stuff in and out of stockpiles has been observed ''not'' to cause noise. | |

| − | + | * More research is needed to determine how much noise other jobs cause. It is said that most jobs cause noise within 2-4 tiles. | |
