What Exactly is Sound?
Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations.
How Can I Overcome a “Muddy” Sounding Room?
The proper placement of the following methods of acoustical foam products will greatly reduce unwanted interference patterns:
- Absorption
- Diffusion
- Transmission control
What is Absorption?
Absorption, with regards to acoustics, refers to the property of a material; in this case, acoustical foam products, to alter (absorb) the sonic energy of a sound wave.
How can acoustical foam help?
New England Foam fabricates acoustical foam products that effectively attenuate these sound waves by shifting, or absorbing, the acoustic energy into another form of energy (heat).
