2. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

   Sound reflections: by limiting the reflection using many methods, e.g. by using acoustic absorption (deadening) materials, trapping the sound, opening a "window" to let sound out, etc. By analyzing the entire sequence of events, from the source to the observer, an acoustic engineer can provide many ways to quieten the machine.

3. Soundproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundproofing

   A pair of headphones being tested inside an anechoic chamber for soundproofing. Soundproofing is any means of impeding sound propagation.There are several methods employed including increasing the distance between the source and receiver, decoupling, using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles for absorption, or using ...

4. Noise barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_barrier

   A wall with porous surface material and sound-dampening content material can be absorptive where little or no noise is reflected back towards the source or elsewhere. Hard surfaces such as masonry or concrete are considered to be reflective where most of the noise is reflected back towards the noise source and beyond. [12]

5. Acoustic panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_panel

   An acoustic board is a board made from sound absorbing materials, designed to provide sound insulation. [3] [4] Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.

6. Floor vibration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_vibration

   Modern concrete under-floors often specify a 3mm layer of sound-deadening material above (is it foam plastic like ethaline - something with a long-life since it will be expensive to replace). See also

7. Popcorn ceiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_ceiling

   Popcorn ceiling texture. A popcorn ceiling, also known as a stipple ceiling or acoustic ceiling, is a ceiling with one of a variety of spray-on or paint-on treatments. [1] The bumpy surface is created by tiny particles of vermiculite or polystyrene, which gives the ceiling sound-deadening properties.
