Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Sound absorbing materials are used in almost areas of noise control engineering to reduce sound pressure levels. To use them effectively, it is necessary to:
• Identify the important physical attributes and parameters that cause a material to absorb sound.
• Provide a description of the acoustical performance of sound absorbers used to perform specific noise control functions
• Develop experimental techniques to measure the acoustical parameters necessary to measure the acoustical parameters of sound absorbing materials and the acoustical performance of sound absorbers.
• Introduction of sound absorbing materials in noise control enclosures, covers and wrappings to reduce reverberant build up and hence increase insertion loss
• Introduction of sound absorbing materials onto surfaces of rooms to control reflected sound.
