missing soundproofing constant annoyance

The location was fantastic. Everything I wanted to see was within walking distance.

The room seemed like it was missing soundproofing. I could hear people in the corridor quite clearly. the window didn't shut completely, so the noise from outside was a constant annoyance, especially the joyful sounds of late-night revelers.
