 Relating to sound or the sense of hearing.


 The properties or qualities of a room or
building that determine how sound is
transmitted in it.
 The branch of physics concerned with the
properties of sound.
 A sound that lasts for a long time and makes
things seem to shake or vibrate.
 Resonance effect or Echo effect
 When the sound intensity is more, then it
gives the great trouble or nuisance to the
particular area like auditorium, cinema hall,
studio, recreation center, entertainment hall,
college reading hall.
 Hence it is very important to make that area
or room to be sound proof by using a
suitable material called as ‘Acoustic material’.
It is measured in decibles (db).
 Acoustic material play a vital role in the
various area of building construction. The
acoustics treatment is provided to control the
outside as well as inside sound of the various
building unit such that sound will be audible
without any nuisance or disturbance.
 These materials eliminate sound reflections
and are generally porous, with many
pathways that redirect sound and cause it to
lose energy.
 Typical sound absorbing materials are
fiberglass, rock wool, open cell polyurethane
foam, cellular melamine foam, heavy curtain
blankets and thick fabric wall coverings.
1) Acoustic plaster 2) Fibrous plaster
3) Acoustic tiles 4) Perforated plywood
5) Staw board 6) Pulp board 7) Compressed
fibre board 8) Cork board slabs 9) Foam glass
10) Asbestos cement boards.
11) Thermocoal 12) Foam plastic
13) Chip boards 14) Gasket cork sheet
15) Acoustic foam.
 Sound energy is captured and adsorbed.
 It has a low reflection and high absorption of sound.
 Higher density improves the sound absorption
efficiency at lower frequencies.
 Higher density material help to maintain a low
flammability performance. Hence acoustic material
should have higher density.
 It controls the sound and noise levels from machinery
and other sources for environmental amelioration and
regulatory compliance.
 Acoustic material reduces the energy of sound waves as
they pass through.
 It suppresses echoes, reverberation, resonance and
reflection.
 Important specifications for noise reduction
and noise absorption products include noise
attenuation and noise reduction coefficient.
 A vinyl acoustic barrier blocks controls
airborne noise (street traffic, voices, music)
from passing through a wall ceiling or floor.
 Acoustic foam and acoustic ceiling tiles
absorb sound so as to minimize echo and
reverberation within a room.
 Sound proof doors and windows are designed
to reduce the transmission of sound.
 Building techniques such as double wall
construction or cavity wall construction and
staggering wall studs can improve the sound
proofing of a room.
 A sound proof wall (treated by a accurate
material) can incorporate sound proofing and
acoustic materials to meet desired sound
transmission class (STC) values.
 Home theatre acoustics.
 Wall sound proofing.
 Ceiling sound proofing.
 Studio Acoustics.
 Floor and football sound proofing.
 Office and conference room acoustics.
 Industrial acoustics.
 Pipe sound proofing.
 Church and place of worship acoustics.
 Restaurant and lounge acoustics.
