  2. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

    A sound proof room, showing acoustic damping tiles used for noise absorption and soundproofing. Noise absorption: In architectural acoustics, unwanted sounds can be absorbed rather than reflected inside the room of an observer. This is useful for noises with no point source and when a listener needs to hear sounds only from a point source and ...

  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 control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

    Common sound absorption materials include decoupled lead-based tiles, open cell foams and fiberglass; Vibration damping: applicable for large vibrating surfaces. The damping mechanism works by extracting the vibration energy from the thin sheet and dissipating it as heat. A common material is sound deadened steel.

  5. Anechoic chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_chamber

    An anechoic chamber (an-echoic meaning "non-reflective" or "without echoes") is a room designed to stop reflections or echoes of either sound or electromagnetic waves. They are also often isolated from energy entering from their surroundings.

  6. Damping (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_(music)

    Damping is a technique in music for altering the sound of a musical instrument by reducing oscillations or vibrations. Damping methods are used for a number of instruments. Damping methods are used for a number of instruments.

  7. Acoustic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_impedance

    c is the speed of the sound waves traveling in the medium; δ is the particle displacement; x is the space variable along the direction of propagation of the sound waves. This equation is valid both for fluids and solids. In fluids, ρc 2 = K (K stands for the bulk modulus);

  8. Moral Injury: The Grunts - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/moral-injury/the...

    Can we imagine ourselves back on that awful day in the summer of 2010, in the hot firefight that went on for nine hours? Men frenzied with exhaustion and reckless exuberance, eyes and throats burning from dust and smoke, in a battle that erupted after Taliban insurgents castrated a young boy in the village, knowing his family would summon nearby Marines for help and the Marines would come ...

  9. Damping factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor

    Damping factor with an 8 Ω load becomes more than 50 when this control is set to NORMAL. Likewise, it is 5 at MEDIUM position, and 1 at SOFT position. It enables choosing the speaker sound that one prefers. Damping is also a concern in guitar amplifiers (an application in which controlled distortion is desirable) and low damping can be better.
