StarStarStarStar

Panel Absorber

StarStarStarStar

A type of acoustic treatment that uses a vibrating panel to absorb sound energy, especially effective for mid to low frequencies.

StarStarStarStar

Impedance

StarStarStarStar

The resistance a material provides to the transmission and reflection of sound waves.

StarStarStarStar

Acoustic Sealant

StarStarStarStar

A flexible material used to seal gaps and joints in walls and structures to prevent sound leakage.

StarStarStarStar

Reverberation Time (RT60)

StarStarStarStar

The time it takes for reverberated sound to decay by 60 decibels.

StarStarStarStar

Reflection

StarStarStarStar

The bouncing back of sound waves off surfaces.

StarStarStarStar

Standing Waves

StarStarStarStar

Resonant sound waves that reinforce or cancel each other, problematic at certain room dimensions.

StarStarStarStar

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)

StarStarStarStar

A scalar representation of the amount of sound energy absorbed upon striking a material.

StarStarStarStar

Sound Transmission Class (STC)

StarStarStarStar

A rating used to measure a material's ability to reduce sound transmission through it.

StarStarStarStar

Bass Traps

StarStarStarStar

These are devices designed to capture low-frequency sound energy.

StarStarStarStar

Absorption

StarStarStarStar

The process of dampening sound energy by converting it to heat.

StarStarStarStar

Flutter Echo

StarStarStarStar

A rapid series of echoes caused by sound bouncing between two parallel surfaces.

StarStarStarStar

Diffusion

StarStarStarStar

The scattering of sound waves, reducing the sense of directionality of the sound.

StarStarStarStar

Room Modes

StarStarStarStar

Frequencies at which standing waves cause resonant peaks and nulls in a room's acoustic response.

StarStarStarStar

Helmholtz Resonator

StarStarStarStar

An acoustic device designed to absorb specific frequencies based on its cavity size, neck dimension, and amount of damping material.

StarStarStarStar

Decibel (dB)

StarStarStarStar

A unit of measurement for sound pressure level, logarithmic in nature.
