  2. Absorption (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(acoustics)

    In general, soft, pliable, or porous materials (like cloths) serve as good acoustic insulators - absorbing most sound, whereas dense, hard, impenetrable materials (such as metals) reflect most. How well a room absorbs sound is quantified by the effective absorption area of the walls, also named total absorption area.

  4. Acoustic plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_plaster

    Most acoustic plasters have a Noise Reduction Coefficient between 0.5 and 1.00. [3] The Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) determines the ability of a material to reflect or absorb sound. [ 5 ] It is a number between 0 and 1, which 0 being perfectly reflective and 1 being perfectly absorptive. [ 5 ]

  6. Acoustic foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_foam

    Acoustic foam tiles are suited to placing on sonically reflective surfaces to act as sound absorbers, thus enhancing or changing the sound properties of a room. [ 11 ] This type of sound absorption is different from soundproofing, which is typically used to keep sound from escaping or entering a room rather than changing the properties of sound ...

  7. 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.

    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 ...
