**Noise Reduction Tips** This is an elaboration on my previous comment about the printing press. To Illustrate my observations, start at 16:29 When you asked if a wall with a door or not makes any difference? Once you put the closed wall next to the printer page module on the new floor, it nearly eliminated all the sound on the other side, without a single item to assist near by. If you put walls with doors between the stairs and both the Input and Output devices AND closed wall between all the Printer page modules, then the staff will become happier and the only noice traveling down stairs will be coming from the input or output machines. Just watch the difference in happiness from your desk employees starting at 15:43, when you move any printer module, it affects the employees closest to the stairs, and when there isn't a printer module above them at all, it also affects the others.
