Signs of potential issues

- Mechanical drone: Noisy HVAC fans, air handler, freeway car traffic
Physical characteristics to consider
- Window glazings (multiple glazings reduce outside noise)
- Noise abatement: baffles, soft surfaces, quiet rooms, white noise generator
- Proximity to anticipated loud events (fire sirens, passing trucks, airport flight paths, fog horns, trains)
