To prevent COVID-19, the apartment housing was filled with more people for a longer time while at home in Japan. These conditions are thought to have produced something close to the maximum noise load of the apartment housing. In order to better understand the reaction of the residents to this situation, we decided to conduct a questionnaire and collect data. As a result, compared to before stay home, the number of sounds that were heard and worrisome during stay home increased to 1.3 times. In addition, about 10% of the residents were involved in noise problems during stay home.
