Many activities cause noise in a 3 dimensional radius (well cube anyways).  It wakes up dwarves.  Dwarves that are woken up by noise will generate an unhhpy thought.

-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]]s 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.
-Noise is produced when a noisy job is completed.  Thoughts about noise do not appear until the sleeping dwarf has woken up.
-Dwarves walking through a sleeping dwarf's room (even over his head) will not cause noise, which is important for [[bedroom design]].
-Contrary to common belief based on [[23a:Noise|earlier versions]], workshops do ''not'' currently produce any noise.
-==Noisiness of various jobs==
-Unlike in the past, only 5 jobs are known to cause noise:
-* Digging - 8 tiles
-* Wood cutting - 8 tiles
-* Engraving - 4 tiles
-* Fortification carving - 4 tiles
-* Removing [[construction]]s - 8 tiles
-====Visualization====
-Noise radiates across [[z-level]]s in the shape of a cube, in all 6 directions (north/south, east/west, ''and'' up/down), so noise that travels 4 tiles will generate noise in a 9x9 pattern on 9 successive floors.  The noise radiates from the center of the noise-producing apparatus.

-== Noise in practice ==
-* Don't dig near bedrooms when there are dwarves sleeping in them.
-* Smooth your bedrooms before placing the actual furniture.
-== Designing in anticipation of noise ==
-* A good way to start is to put all your bedrooms on level -9 or lower, so you don't have worry about noise from [[wood cutting]].
-* Remember that [[jail]]s, [[hospital]]s, and sleeping [[barracks]] should also ideally be kept away from noise, in addition to standard and noble bedrooms.
-Facilities that ''can'' be safely built around or above/below bedrooms and other sleeping facilities, to separate the area set aside for the "quiet zone", include anything that does ''not'' make noise.
