2. 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 ...

3. Blackout (fabric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackout_(fabric)

   The process of manufacturing blackout was invented by Baltimore-based Rockland Industries, [2] and involves coating a fabric with layers of foam, or 'passes'. A '2-pass' blackout is produced by applying two passes of foam to a fabric – first, a black layer is applied to the fabric, then a white or light-colored layer is applied on top of the black.

4. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

   Adding absorptive materials to the interior surfaces of rooms, for example fabric-faced fiberglass panels and thick curtains, will result in a decrease of reverberated sound energy within the room. However, absorptive interior surface treatments of this kind do not significantly improve the sound transmission class. [ 19 ]

5. Noise barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_barrier

   The sound tube in Melbourne, Australia, designed to reduce roadway noise without detracting from the area's aesthetics. A noise barrier (also called a soundwall, noise wall, sound berm, sound barrier, or acoustical barrier) is an exterior structure designed to protect inhabitants of sensitive land use areas from noise pollution.

6. Noise reduction coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction_coefficient

   The noise reduction coefficient (commonly abbreviated NRC) is a single number value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 that describes the average sound absorption performance of a material. An NRC of 0.0 indicates the object does not attenuate mid-frequency sounds, but rather reflects sound energy.

7. dbx (noise reduction) - Wikipedia
