Symptom: Fails the attenuation check
- Measure ambient octave-band levels inside vs the target.
- Inspect and replace the door / window gaskets.
- Check the door closes flush and the latch draws it home.
- Re-torque loose panel seams.
- Re-run the attenuation test and document it.
Symptom: Fan noise or poor airflow
