Bats eat a lot of moths, which they locate in the dark via echolocation. According to new research, however, some moths have evolved sound-absorbing fur as a passive means of defence – and it could ...

Experts at the University of Bristol have discovered that the scales on moth wings act as excellent sound absorbers even when placed on an artificial surface. The researchers, which recently ...

In everyday life, designing spaces that both let air flow and absorb sound can be a tricky balancing act. Usually, materials that allow air to pass through—like vents—also let sound escape, making it ...

Hankook Tire & Technology has patented a tire with self-generation and sound absorption. The tire includes a wall structure, a sound absorber, and an electronic unit for improved sound absorption ...

Researchers describe an acoustic meta-surface that uses pingpong balls, with small holes punctured in each, as Helmholtz resonators to create inexpensive but effective low-frequency sound insulation.

For applications where mounting acoustical wall treatments are impossible or undesirable, ProMAX Panels are lightweight, stand-mounted, portable StudioFoam sound absorbers. They are used in such ...
