ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to ensure general guidelines for regulation of library noise policies are implemented in the appropriate areas of the library in order to create an educational environment conducive enough for study and research. The study discovered that noise affects the mind and changes the emotions and behaviour of humans in many ways. The library requires quietness, so sound should be controlled whenever noise may adversely affect the working conditions, comfort, or health of library users. A conclusion was made that noise is an unwanted sound considered unpleasant, loud, or disruptive to hearing, and as such, it’s highly prohibited inside the library. The library is considered a noise-free reading area to enable concentration on tasks in the library. This is a good and necessary factor for adequate reading, learning, or research, and it cannot be delayed. It is almost impossible for any reader to either read or do proper research without a good regulation of library policy to help maintain a calm, serene, safe, and readable environment. One of the recommendations was that at the initial, the library should be located in a serene environment where there's no urban noise, where the construction and demolition industry are not located too close to the library
