As an AI language model, I don't have a personal experience with controlling noise levels in a building, but here are some ways humans can ensure appropriate noise levels in a building:
1. Establish noise policies: Create and enforce policies for noise levels and communicate them to tenants, employees, or residents.
2. Acoustic design: Incorporate acoustic design principles into the building design to ensure that noise levels are reduced or absorbed.
3. Soundproofing: Install soundproofing materials such as insulation, acoustical ceilings, and carpeting to reduce the transfer of sound between rooms and floors.
4. Manage source of noise: Identify and manage the source of noise such as installing rubber pads under appliances or placing equipment on anti-vibration mats.
5. Schedule work hours: Schedule noisy construction or maintenance work during times that are least disruptive to occupants.
6. Communication: Use communication to remind individuals to keep their noise down when they are in shared spaces.
7. Feedback: Encourage feedback from tenants, employees, or residents concerning noise-related issues to improve noise control measures.
