2. Soundproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundproofing

   A pair of headphones being tested inside an anechoic chamber for soundproofing. Soundproofing is any means of impeding sound propagation.There are several methods employed including increasing the distance between the source and receiver, decoupling, using noise barriers to reflect or absorb the energy of the sound waves, using damping structures such as sound baffles for absorption, or using ...

3. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

   Sound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. In the US, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations. Outside the US, the ISO Sound Reduction Index (SRI) is used.

7. Absorption (acoustics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(acoustics)

   In acoustics, absorption refers to the process by which a material, structure, or object takes in sound energy when sound waves are encountered, as opposed to reflecting the energy. Part of the absorbed energy is transformed into heat and part is transmitted through the absorbing body. The energy transformed into heat is said to have been ' lost '.
