Carpet is a good sound absorber, though even a few throw rugs would help.

The goal of a sound absorber is to convert acoustical energy into heat.

"Carpet is a selective sound absorber; it only absorbs high frequencies.

He experiments with sound absorbers made from felt and with glass sound mirrors.

Traditional sound absorbers are porous materials such as mineral wool, glass or polyester fibres.

Other sound absorbers will include cushioned chairs and acoustic panels fitted to the empty bookcases along the walls.

An MPP offers an alternative to traditional sound absorbers made from porous materials.

The sound absorbers.

Sound absorbers concealed somewhere, Miles thought-and, he bet, if you knew just where to stand, secure cones to baffle eavesdroppers both human and electronic.

These serve as sound absorbers, and the higher holes double as picture-hangers - a sort of modernist reinterpretation of a traditional wall's cornice.

The contractors put a plywood sheet on the floor, then added a layer of rubber sound absorbers and another sheet of plywood.

Her floor-to-ceiling curtains, her yellow upholstered sofa and her grayish wall-to-wall carpet are all sound absorbers.

One early contributor to the theory of micro perforated plates as sound absorbers was Professor Daa-You Maa.

Though the individual fibers conduct heat very well, when pressed into rolls and sheets, their ability to partition air makes them excellent heat insulators and sound absorbers.

Sound-deadening board will usually help slightly if installed on the surface of a wall or ceiling, but it serves as more of a sound absorber than as sound insulation.

They covered large sections of the walls with heavy fabric and built large cabinets that Mr. Dichter filled with sheet music, records and tapes - more sound absorbers.

Inscriptions can be used to date the qin as well, since most makers brush in their names and years of manufacture, mostly inside the soundhole, on the sound absorber or next to it.

It is usually cut into tiles - often with pyramid or wedge shapes - which are suited to placing on the walls of a recording studio or a similar type of environment to act as a sound absorber, thus enhancing the sound quality within a room.

Noise control principles are implemented into technology and design in a variety of ways, including control by redesigning sound sources, the design of noise barriers, sound absorbers, silencers, and buffer zones, and the use of hearing protection (Earmuffs or Earplugs).
