Location of Room
A quiet, convenient and central location is to be preferred. High levels of structural and airborne noise will be a problem so the room needs to be located away from sources of noise such as traffic, lifts, plumbing, workshops, plant rooms, air conditioning ducts, etc. Sounds that are a minor irritation to the ear can become unbearable when picked up by a microphone. Access should be suitable for persons with a physical disability. A ground floor location is normally preferable.
