The mosque building was designed taking into account the need for quiet and low noise levels to support Muslim worship. This research aims to analyze the acoustic comfort of the Baitussalihin Ulee Kareng Mosque, Banda Aceh City. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods (Mixed Methods). Observations began with measuring the background noise level and absorption coefficient using a sound level meter. Interview data was collected in a semi-structured manner using an interview guide for visitors to the Baitussalihin Ulee Kareng Mosque. The data analysis technique used is descriptive technique. The measurement results show that the sound distribution is not evenly distributed, the noise exceeds the standard with an average sound distribution in the mosque landscape area of 65,15. Design recommendations to reduce reverberation time are to cover the back wall covering material with plywood and cover acoustic foam panels in the middle dome. To reduce noise from outside the building, it is recommended to add a noise barrier made of glass with a height that exceeds the building openings.
