No, walking does not generate enough noise to wake sleeping dwarves, nor does sparring in a barracks oddly.

Do they get unhappy if someone walks around in their bedroom? Does it have any negative effects if the bedroom is technically not divided from other bedrooms (aka using walls)?

[coldstone]

they wont get unhappy thoughts. they WILL lose clothing, as they will always drop their clothes on the floor and floor items will get stomped on.

as far as how small can you go, i would say that its possible to go 1x2 with a bed and cabinet in each room and simply dont make any coins. If you are trying to make coins and have a working economy youre going to need 1x3 rooms with a coffer. Of course, if you want dwarfs to behave themselves and lock them in their rooms if they start tantruming while theyre in there, youre going to need 1x4 .. or 2x2 .. economy ruins everything though because if youre not being careful, your hauler dwarfs are gonna get evicted.. and then the riots start, and the stores get looted and everyone blames the cops for their brutality but the cops say the mayor told them to do it so in the end you have a mob sacrificing their leader and so on.

I used to make all my rooms 3x3. I recently swtched over to a 2x2 scheme and I'm liking it a lot. Less work to mine out new rooms, less stuff to haul, easier to work around things like ore or gems that are uncovered during the excavation.

Alas my current fort is quite generous with 4x6 rooms (I'm trying something new), each including a table and chair and soon an additional piece of furniture based on each dwarves occupation/preferences. The mechanic will probably get a gear assembly, some will get statues, that kind of thing. Nobles get a 4x4 walk-up apartment - 3 or 4 stories, with tomb and office in other buildings. I don't turn on the economy because it's fairly broken at this point, IMO.

I don't find the mining/hauling to be a problem. Even with a smallish population and an overall large fort, I always have periods of time when my haulers are idle. It just means someone's room won't get furnished for a few years. They've never seemed to mind.

I usually go for 2x2 rooms, gives me all the space I need for a bed, cabinet, and coffer. The nobles get 5x5, and dwarves I like get 3x3 (Though it dosnt make much of a difference, seeing as how the 3x3s still only have a bed, coffer, and cabinet. I might have to give them more later)

After a while I just got sick of digging out and furnishing bedrooms for each dwarf, so these days I just build one big bedroom and throw sixty+ beds into it. Everyone shares the facilities, but I decorate the hell out of the place so they don't mind (generally after a couple of years I've gotten a nice big shipment of cut gems from the dwarves, which I use to decorate, say, a green glass pipe which goes into the bedroom and makes everyone ecstatic.

Ironically, when I do give dwarves their own bedrooms, they tend to be of lower quality than the communal ones until I can get them nicely furnished.

Pipes are placeable furniture?
