In my thesis, I made sound measurements in quiet and normal student
residences in Rožna dolina. I used the measurements to determine whether the
accommodation in the student residences is favourable or unfavourable for living and
learning. The measurements were taken in different halls of residence in the morning,
afternoon and evening. The student housing areas offer two types of student halls quiet
and ordinary. What distinguishes a quiet dorm from a regular dorm is that parties are not
allowed in the dorms. Only registered gatherings are allowed up to twice a month. Based
on the data obtained, I have made a comparison between quiet and ordinary halls of
residence to determine whether there are differences in the quality of living itself in
relation to the level of noise exposure during the day. The comparisons between
dormitories showed whether party bans and restrictions on loud socialising and stricter
controls to maintain a quiet living environment are sufficient to reduce noise levels
compared to ordinary student residences. I have also compared the measured data with
current legislation in the fields of construction and occupational health and safety.
Since the limit values are exceeded, I have outlined the potential negative effects of noise
on people and learning ability. Consequently, I will also propose possible measures to
reduce noise in student residencies and to improve the quality of life of students living in
these residences.
