Explore how metamaterials are revolutionizing architecture with acoustic invisibility, earthquake resilience, and energy ...

While most sound-dampening panels are all function and little form, these acoustic panels from Dekiru actually look great. These one-foot hexagonal panels fit together neatly for noise reduction ...

Higher performance materials can absorb sound more effectively at higher frequencies, sometimes resulting in coefficients ...

Noise reduction techniques don’t have to be expensive or complex. Small, intentional changes — like sealing a window, laying down a rug or hanging thick curtains — can bring significant relief.

Schwartz and Architecture has completed a house in California that is closed off to the street yet opens up in the rear, ... Tall "acoustic wall" buffers noise at Modal Home in Silicon Valley.

Effective materials Materials with high noise reduction coefficient (NRC) ratings can significantly reduce sound reflection and absorption. Acoustic tiles, baffles, carpets, draperies, and ...

Current mainstream systems like noise reduction foams or sound-absorbing walls would require a 4 m (13 foot) thick setup. The tech could easily be utilized to create noise-cancelling environments ...

MORE THAN 1,000 metres below the surface of the oceans, darkness reigns. For animals living in this perpetual twilight, vision is irrelevant; acoustic signals, instead, are how they navigate ...
