<p>Madrigan: Workshop noise travels 4 Z-levels</p> <hr /> <div>Certain jobs (when completed) will generate '''noise''' that will cause your dwarves to get the unhappy [[thought]] &quot;slept uneasily.&quot; Building or destroying [[building]]s causes noise within 16 tiles, as does firing [[siege engines]]. [[Mining]] and [[wood cutting]] causes noise within 8 tiles.{{verify}} Jobs performed at [[workshops]] cause noise within 4 tiles, and most other jobs cause noise within 4 or 2 tiles. It is unknown how far some noise travels through [[Z-level]]s, but workshop noise travels through four levels, the same as horizontally.[http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&amp;f=11&amp;t=000858]<br /> <br /> Neither walls nor doors will insulate dwarves from sound. Distance is the only factor in whether a dwarf's sleep will be disturbed.<br /> <br /> When noise radiates from buildings, it radiates from the center tile, like this{{ver|0.23.130.23a}}:<br /> <br /> ....*....<br /> ...***...<br /> ..*****..<br /> .**WWW**.<br /> ***WWW***<br /> .**WWW**.<br /> ..*****..<br /> ...***...<br /> ....*....<br /> <br /> W - Workshop, * - Noise, . - No noise</div>
