Reticulated foams are widely used in noise control applications. However, difficulties in controlling the foaming process makes it difficult to control the microstructure and consequently the absorption characteristics of stochastic foams.

Sound Absorption of Hemp Fibers (Cannabis Sativa L.) Based Nonwoven Fabrics and Composites: A Review
Compared to the commonly used synthetic fibrous materials, natural fiber represents an eco-friendly solution in various engineering fields. Noise control is an important application of natural fibers due to the unique acoustic characteristics. Studies on

Acoustic Characterization of Sugarcane Bagasse Particleboard Panels (Saccharum officinarum L) [PDF]
The use of sugarcane bagasse minimizes the environmental impact and contributes to the creation of a new product with low density, good sound absorption capacity and can improve the acoustic conditions of buildings.

Performance of T-shape barriers with top surface covered with absorptive quadratic residue diffusers [PDF]
A previous paper [Applied Acoustics 66 (2005) 709–730] has shown that adding a quadratic residue diffuser (QRD) to the top of a T-shape barrier can provide better barrier performance than an equivalent purely absorptive barrier.

Broadband low-frequency sound absorption in open tunnels with deep sub-wavelength Mie resonators
We report both experimentally and numerically that near-perfect absorption of low-frequency sound is realized in an open tunnel embedded with two deep sub-wavelength (0.085 λ) Mie resonators. The resonators are composed of a multiple-cavity structure and

The Application of Nanofibrous Resonant Membranes for Room Acoustics
Solitary sound absorbing elements exist; however, their construction is massive and heavy, which largely limits their use. These elements are generally made of porous materials that serve to reduce the amplitude of the reflected sound waves.

Acoustic absorption of hemp-lime construction [PDF]
Abstract Hemp-lime concrete is a sustainable alternative to standard wall construction materials. It boasts excellent hygrothermal properties in part deriving from its porous structure. This paper investigates the acoustic properties of hemp-lime concrete, using binders developed from hydrated lime and pozzolans as well as hydraulic and cementicious ...

Effective acoustic absorption of ETFE membranes and cushions
In this paper, we report on measurements of the acoustic absorption coefficient of ETFE membranes and cushions by two types of measurement approaches. The experimental results are compared with material simulations in ODEON® room acoustics ver.17. The absorption was determined via the assumption that the energy which passes through the foil can be ...
