The inquiry, carried out by AmericInn among 2000 casually chosen hotel guests, showed that in 40% cases people were irritated by the noise caused by quarrels and parties spent next door. One third of interviewed people declared that they were disturbed by unduly full-throated amorous twosomes.
Among other irritating sounds were listed the following: washout noise from a wash room and other sounds of bathrooms (26%), boring repairs rattle (13%), cough and vomit sounds (12%), snore, hiccup and eructation (11%). A smaller percent of interviewed complained of the TV set's noise, rail road clatter and loud music.
It is also interesting that only 44% of that people who were tormented with the sounds preventing them to fall asleep, addressed to administrators or hotels managers; 20% of people attempted to settle down their neighbours, raising a noise themselves; and approximately 20% just put earplugs and buried themselves in pillows to the hilt; the remaining 18% just endured it and held their hands.
