TL;DR
In most Hurghada resorts, animation and loud music run all day near the central pool (often near a bridge feature) and the kids' pool, while the adult-only pool area stays quiet. Sea-view rooms can also be blocked by large beach canopies, so the view may be limited.
At Renaissance, choose a room away from the upper pool for a quieter stay: animation is concentrated there and ends by 11 pm. The beach is generally peaceful, with animators inviting guests individually to activities such as yoga or volleyball rather than making loud announcements.
At Serenity resort the animation is less intrusive: no discos, no beach parties or fire shows (occasional pool parties with inflatables do happen). Activities are spread across two connected hotel properties, so the schedule varies — worth checking announcements or asking animators directly.
Besides the pools, noise can also come from the amphitheater with daily evening concerts and a terrace with live music/relax sessions — worth factoring in room distance from these areas when picking a quiet room.
Worth checking at booking whether your specific building block is under renovation — some blocks still have ongoing repairs, which can add noise beyond the animation.
Evenings around the resort tend to be quiet — animators just casually walk along the beach with no real evening program. Noise levels vary a lot depending on the current guests.
Some family-oriented resorts have minimal animation overall — just small pool/beach activities and an English-language kids' evening program, with occasional live music for adults. Good pick if you want a calm stay.
Animators typically move between the kids' pool, the central pool, and the beach throughout the day. The adult-only pool area stays completely animation-free and quiet. If booking a pool-view room for daytime quiet, avoid rooms overlooking the central pool with a bridge feature — loud music runs there all day. Other pools, including the kids' one, are usually silent.
Don't count on a great sea view from your room — the beachfront is often lined with solid, sturdy canopies, so the actual sea view can be quite limited.
