  2. Sound attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_attenuator

    The internal baffles of a sound attenuator constrict airflow, which in turn generates turbulent noise. Noise generated by a sound attenuator is directly related to the airflow velocity at the constriction, and changes proportionally with the face area of the sound attenuator. The change in generated noise can be expressed as

  3. Bass trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_trap

    Resonating bass traps will absorb sound with high efficiency at their fundamental frequency of resonance. As such, a knowledge of the frequencies of resonances which require damping is helpful before designing and constructing a resonating bass trap. This can be attained by calculation of the room's modes or by direct measurement of the room ...

  4. Acoustic attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_attenuation

    Acoustic attenuation in water is frequency-squared dependent, namely =. Acoustic attenuation in many metals and crystalline materials is frequency-independent, namely =. [10] In contrast, it is widely noted that the of viscoelastic materials is between 0 and 2.

  5. T pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_pad

    A T-pad attenuator formed from two symmetrical L sections. Because of the symmetry, R 1 = R 3 in this case. For an attenuator, Z and Y are simple resistors and γ becomes the image parameter attenuation (that is, the attenuation when terminated with the image impedances) in nepers. A T pad can be viewed as being two L sections back-to-back as ...

  6. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    In physics, attenuation (in some contexts, extinction) is the gradual loss of flux intensity through a medium. For instance, dark glasses attenuate sunlight, lead attenuates X-rays, and water and air attenuate both light and sound at variable attenuation rates. Hearing protectors help reduce acoustic flux from flowing into the ears.

  7. Acoustic transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_transmission

    Example of airborne and structure-borne transmission of sound, where Lp is sound pressure level, A is attenuation, P is acoustical pressure, S is the area of the wall [m²], and τ is the transmission coefficient. Acoustic transmission is the transmission of sounds through and between materials, including air, wall, and musical instruments.

  8. Π pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Π_pad

    A Π-pad attenuator formed from two symmetrical L sections. Because of the symmetry, R 1 = R 3 in this case. For an attenuator, Z and Y are simple resistors and γ becomes the image parameter attenuation (that is, the attenuation when terminated with the image impedances) in nepers. A Π pad can be viewed as being two L sections back-to-back as ...

  9. Head shadow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_shadow

    The obstruction caused by the head can account for attenuation (reduced amplitude) of overall intensity as well as cause a filtering effect. The filtering effects of head shadowing are an essential element of sound localisation —the brain weighs the relative amplitude, timbre , and phase of a sound heard by the two ears and uses the ...
