Introduction
 In our daily life we are affected by traffic noise industrial etc., . In fact noise
imparts more people than any other noise source .It affects our ability to work
,learn ,relax, etc.
 Excessive noise can lead to mental and physical health problems.
 The construction of barrier walls, increasing the isolation quality of home,
masking the noise or controlling the noise directly at the source.
Acoustic materials
 Acoustical materials are a variety of foams, fabrics, metals.
 These are used to quiet workplaces, homes, automobiles.
 Acoustical materials are used in two major ways:
1. As soundproofing
2. As sound absorbing
Methods for managing noise :

 Blocking relates to the use of sound proofing.


 Absorption works by converting sound energy to heat.
 Diffusion seeks to scatter sound without deadening the room.
 Isolating is done at the source of noise itself by placing the compressor
on isolation mounts for instance.
Measures of acoustic material effectiveness:

 Absorption coefficient
 Specific acoustic impedance
 Noise reduction coefficient
 Sound transmission class
 A weighted sound level scale
Sound absorbing materials :

 Porous materials
 Non perforated panel or membrane absorbers
 Cavity resonators
Porous materials:
 Basic acoustical characterises of all
porous materials is a cellular
network of minute interlocking
pores.
 They convert the incident sound
energy into heat energy by fractional
and viscous resistance with in these
ores and vibration of the small fibres
Use of acoustic foam:
 Acoustic foam does not block sound.
 It is used in sound absorption applications such as gymnasiums to reduce
reverberations as noise travels and bounces off reflective surfaces.
 To block sound, acoustics specialists rely on mass primarily, while eliminating
any gaps in walls where sound can leak through.
 Amount of absorption a 1 ft-square section of material will achieve over a
frequency range of 125-4000 Hz.
Non perforated panel:
 Any impervious material, installed
on a solid backing but separated
from it
 By an air space, will be set to
vibration when struck by sound
waves.
 The flexural vibration of the panel
absorber will then absorb a certain
amount of the incident sound energy
by converting it into heat energy.
Cavity (or Helmholtz) resonators:
• They consist of an enclosed body of
air confined within rigid walls and
connected by a narrow opening(called
the neck) with the surrounding space
in which the sound waves travel.
• They absorb more sound in the range
of resonating frequency.
• An empty jar or bottle, also acts as a
cavity resonator, its absorption is
confined to a very narrow frequency
band.
