  2. Acoustic plaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_plaster

    Acoustic plasters can significantly reduce the sound reverberation within the space. [5] 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]

  3. Absorption (acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

    An example of a material in which absorption can observed: sound absorbing foam, also known as acoustic foam. In acoustics, absorption refers to the process by which a material, structure, or object takes in sound energy when sound waves are encountered, as opposed to reflecting the energy.

  4. Anechoic tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anechoic_tile

    Anechoic tiles are rubber or synthetic polymer tiles containing thousands of tiny voids, applied to the outer hulls of military ships and submarines, as well as anechoic chambers. Their function is twofold: To absorb the sound waves of active sonar, reducing and distorting the return signal, thereby reducing its effective range.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustics

    The five basic steps are found equally well whether we are talking about an earthquake, a submarine using sonar to locate its foe, or a band playing in a rock concert. The central stage in the acoustical process is wave propagation. This falls within the domain of physical acoustics. In fluids, sound propagates primarily as a pressure wave.

  7. Acoustical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_engineering

    In many branches of acoustic engineering, a human listener is a final arbitrator as to whether a design is successful, for instance, whether sound localisation works in a surround sound system. "Psychoacoustics seeks to reconcile acoustical stimuli and all the scientific, objective, and physical properties that surround them, with the ...

  8. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

    Sound reflections: by limiting the reflection using many methods, e.g. by using acoustic absorption (deadening) materials, trapping the sound, opening a "window" to let sound out, etc. By analyzing the entire sequence of events, from the source to the observer, an acoustic engineer can provide many ways to quieten the machine.

  9. Diaphragm (acoustics) - Wikipedia

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

    The varying air pressure of sound waves imparts mechanical vibrations to the diaphragm which can then be converted to some other type of signal; examples of this type of diaphragm are found in microphones and the human eardrum. Conversely a diaphragm vibrated by a source of energy beats against the air, creating sound waves.
