Sound Absorption in the Workplace

چکیده
The results are in. Recent studies conducted by an independent testing laboratory show that when it comes to acoustics, commercial cushion makes carpet even better. To specifiers and end-users, it will come as no surprise that properly specified carpet cushion reduces noise when used in a commercial installation. What will be of interest is the degree of improvement that has been quantified in scientific studies. The combination of a commercial carpet and commercial bonded polyurethane cushion was found to have greater than double the noise absorption capability when compared to the same carpet without cushion. More absorbed sound means a quieter workplace and fewer distractions to the employees — paving the way for productivity gains and greater satisfaction in the workforce. Comprehensive noise management has become an integral part of interior design, driven by the need for improved productivity. The results of this study continue to build upon a sound, technical foundation supporting the choice of commercial cushion for your next carpet installation.

Experimental study and modelling of date palm fibre composite acoustic behaviour using differential evolution algorithm
Background and aims: In recent years, in most countries of the world, the provision of a calming environment without disturbing noise has become a need, which has subsequently led to significant growth in noise control techniques. It is now well documented that prolonged over-exposure to the excessive levels of environmental noise not only induces disabling hearing impairment but also contribut...
متن کاملEffect of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption of polyurethane foams
In this paper the influence of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption coefficient of polyurethane foams as a porous medium is investigated. Biot’s equations with transfer matrix method, as the solution approach are employed to evaluate the sound absorption coefficient of selected polyurethane foams. The major issue is the dependency of non-acoustic properties on each other which makes ...

متن کاملThe Influence of Fiber Crimp on Acoustic Performance of Polypropylene Fibrous Batt
This paper reports on the effect of fiber crimp frequency on sound absorption capability of staple polypropylene nonwoven batts. Stuffer box was used to impart crimp to spun tow. Crimping of the tow renders the fibers the required textile applicability. In this work, polypropylene batts composed of staple fibers with linear densities of 9, 14, and 18 denier were employed. Three crimp frequency ...
