| Title: New sound technology with broad band resonators to stop the sound and eliminate noise | |
| Abstract: A new technology for sound attenuation based on a broad band resonating system has been developed. A plurality of nested broad band resonators can be used to form an acoustic shield protecting against sources of unwanted noise in a very broad spectrum. The technology has the advantage of having spaces between each resonator, in stark contrast to conventional solid sound barriers. We aim to use this technology to create novel acoustic barriers for use in a number of situations but specifically: Alongside roads/rail in applications where a combination of soundproofing and air flow is needed. No currently available sound barriers for road/rail use enable penetration of both air and light whilst simultaneously providing sound attenuation. Around machinery (air-conditioning units, fixed industrial machinery, pneumatic drilling) where the environment needs to be protected from sound whilst still maintaining airflow around the machinery. I will present detailed design concepts, optimised to application, with full scale working prototypes built. | |
