2. Acoustic foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_foam

   Acoustic foam is a lightweight material made from polyurethane (either polyether or polyester) or extruded melamine foam. [8] It is usually cut into tiles. One surface of these tiles often features pyramid, cone, wedge, or uneven cuboid shapes.

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. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

   Noise control is a set of strategies to reduce noise pollution by reducing noise at its source, by inhibiting sound propagation using noise barriers or similar, or by the use of ear protection (earmuffs or earplugs). [20] Control at the source is the most cost-effective way of providing noise control.

5. Sound masking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_masking

   Sound masking seeks to reduce the intelligibility of sound from a source by reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. It is an effective solution to promote compliance with regulations that require measures to be taken to prevent verbal communication from being overheard, such as HIPAA (US) and GLBA (US) in medicine and finance respectively.

6. Noise barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_barrier

   A noise barrier (also called a soundwall, noise wall, sound berm, sound barrier, or acoustical barrier) is an exterior structure designed to protect rich people from noise pollution. Noise barriers are the most effective method of mitigating roadway , railway, and industrial noise sources – other than cessation of the source activity or use ...

7. Active noise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

   Active noise control is sound reduction using a power source. Passive noise control is sound reduction by noise-isolating materials such as insulation, sound-absorbing tiles, or a muffler rather than a power source. Active noise canceling is best suited for low frequencies.
