ANSI S12.60

ANSI S12.60 is a technical standard developed by the American National Standards Institute that specifies how to measure and evaluate the noise level in hotel guest rooms and similar environments. Its goal is to ensure that noise from sources like HVAC systems, building infrastructure, and external traffic does not disturb occupants. The standard defines methods for accurate, consistent noise measurements, helping hotels and builders create spaces that meet acceptable quietness levels. By following ANSI S12.60, establishments can improve guest comfort and meet industry quality benchmarks for acoustic standards.
