How quiet should a room be?
This depends on the use of the room. You would expect a background noise in a library to be around 30dB. If you make a room too quiet then you begin to listen for other noise sources that you would not have picked up before. Go for a noise level appropriate to the use of the room. Having no noise at all can be unsettling.
