When people sleep, if there is a workshop or something too close to there bed room, they get a bad thought.

What im suggesting / asking.

Asking if doors block sound.

if not i'm suggesting it.

Im suggesting that doors should block some sound, and allow work shops to be placed closer to bed rooms.

I like it, make sound travel half as far through obstacles and twice as far though air (to simulate the loss in transmitted energy at each material interface) and personally I think it should be stopped dead by soil tiles

I find the issue with sound is the great distance over the z axis it can travel (it goes as many z levels up as it goes tiles side ways), many normal hallways are wide enough to separate living from working areas but the need to track sound production across z levels is tricky as you need 4 levels between a workshop and a bedroom to shield it.  If a wall is going to attenuate noise at twice the rate of open space the floors should also contribute on the z axis.  And one last thing, different workshops should have different noise levels, a forge might be 10 units of noise vs a clothier's shop at 4, this might also lead to traffic having noise.
