Abstract
The application of Scirpus grossus (SG) fiber as a sound absorber is important to reduce the level of noise affected the physical and mental wellbeing of people. The sound absorption coefficient (SAC) and noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of the SG specimen were evaluated based on a typical model-based design using the data analysis with MATLAB. The results showed that SG specimen with a thickness of 20 mm coated with the perforated aluminum sheet (PAS) compared to that without coating can improve the capability of sound absorption by 14% at the frequency of 4000 Hz. SG specimen coated with PAS that has a NRC value of 0.39 can absorb 39% of sound and thus reflects 61% of sound wave while SG specimen without coating that has a NRC value of 0.23 absorbs 23% of sound and can reflect 77% of sound wave. The sound absorption class of D for SG specimen coated with PAS should be better that of E for SG specimen without coating, which permits us to get better understanding on the applications of SG fiber as a sound adsorber in the future.

Abstract
In this report, naturally available materials have been utilized in the development of acoustic absorbers. This work presents the study of the effect of oil palm trunks dust (OPTD) loading to the mechanical and acoustical properties of elastomeric thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Four composite sheets of 3-mm thickness were prepared by varying the OPTD loadings with 10-40% wt into the polyurethane. Density, modulus elasticity, sound absorption coefficient and sound transmission loss of the samples were measured according to corresponding standards. The OPTD is found to reduce the density of the elastomeric polyurethane and at the same time, it increases the Young's modulus up to 215 MPa. The composite material can be applied as sound absorber panel installed in front of a rigid wall with an air gap. Increasing the air gap, thus lowering the air stiffness, shifts the absorption peak to a lower frequency. With OPTD loadings, the formation of micro-pores in the inner structure helps to improve the peak of sound absorption of the panel at the resonant frequency which can reach above 0.9. As the OPTD loading has effect on density, the effect on the sound transmission loss at the mass-controlled region is also apparent.

Abstract
Lightweight, porous cellulose foam is an attractive alternative to traditional petroleum-based products, but the intrinsic flammability impedes its use in construction. Herein, an environmentally friendly strategy for scalable fabrication of flame-retardant bamboo pulp foam (BPF) using a foam-forming technique followed by low-cost ambient drying is reported. In the process, a hierarchical structure of halloysite nanotubes (HNT) was decorated onto bamboo pulp fibers through layer-by-layer assembling of chitosan (CS) and phytic acid (PA). This modification retained the highly porous microcellular structure of the resultant BPF (92 %-98 %). It improved its compressive strength by 228.01 % at 50 % strain, endowing this foam with desired thermal insulation properties and sound absorption coefficient comparable to commercial products. More importantly, this foam possessed exceptional flame retardancy (47.05 % reduction in the total heat release and 95.24 % reduction in the total smoke production) in cone calorimetry, and it showed excellent extinguishing performance, indicating considerably enhanced fire safety. These encouraging results suggest that the flame retardant BPF has the potential to serve as a renewable and cost-effective alternative to traditional foam for applications in acoustic and thermal insulation.

Abstract
Getting close to birds is a great challenge in wildlife photography. Bird photography blinds may be the most effective and least intrusive way if properly designed. However, the acoustic design of the blinds has been overlooked so far. Herein, we present noise-cancelling blinds which allow photographing birds at close range. First, we conducted a questionnaire in the eco-tourism centre located in Yunnan, China. Thus, the birders' expectations of the indoor sound environment are determined. We then identify diverse variables to examine the impact of architectural and acoustic decisions on noise propagation. Finally, the acoustic performances of the blinds by considering the birds' hearing threshold are examined. The numerical simulations are performed in the acoustics module of Comsol MultiPhysics. Our study demonstrated that photography blinds require a strong and thorough acoustic design for both human and bird well-being.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the sound insulation, sound absorption and other noise reduction transformation methods in a noise workshop handover control room. Methods: In December 2021, through the occupational health investigation and on-site testing of the handover control room of a noise workshop, the causes of excessive noise were analyzed, and the transformation design scheme to reduce noise was proposed and the effect was analyzed. Results: Before the transformation, the peak frequency band noise intensity of the noise workshop handover control room was 112.8 dB (A), and the peak frequency was 1000 Hz. After noise reduction, the theoretical calculated control value was 61.0 dB (A), and the measured noise intensity was 59.8 dB (A) . Conclusion: The noise intensity of the handover control room is reduced after noise reduction, which is in line with the contact limit requirements of the control room in GBZ 1-2010 "Hygienic Standards for the Design of Industrial Enterprises", and has reference significance for noise control engineering.

Abstract
In the complex engineering applications of electromagnetic (EM) wave-absorbing materials, it is insufficient for these materials to exhibit only efficient EM wave attenuation ability. EM wave-absorbing materials featuring numerous multifunctional properties are increasingly attractive for next-generation wireless communication and smart devices. Herein, we constructed a lightweight and robust multifunctional hybrid aerogel consisting of carbon nanotubes/aramid nanofibers/polyimide with low shrinkage and high porosity. The hybrid aerogels exhibit excellent EM wave attenuation, with an effective absorption bandwidth covering the entire X-band from 25 °C to 400 °C. The conductive loss capacity of the hybrid aerogel is enhanced under thermal drive, which results in an enhanced ability to attenuate EM waves, as evidenced by the fact that the best-fit thickness drops from 5.3 to 3.6 mm with increasing temperature. In addition, the hybrid aerogels are capable to efficiently absorb sound waves, with an average absorption coefficient as high as 0.86 at 1-6.3 kHz, and they exhibit superior thermal insulation properties, with a thermal conductivity as low as 41 ± 2 mW/mK. They are thus suitable for applications in the anti-icing and infrared stealth fields. The prepared multifunctional aerogels have considerable potential for EM protection, noise reduction, and thermal insulation in harsh thermal environments.

Abstract
Bio-inspired borate cross-linked pulp foam (PF) with high porosity and low density can be widely used in many fields. However, PF is flammable, and lack of mechanical strength and antibacterial activity. To solve these issues, an ultra-strong PF was prepared by incorporation of chitosan and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM). Results showed that the obtained PF exhibited highly improved mechanical properties (the compressive strength (485 kPa at a strain of 50%) was over 6 times higher compared with the borate cross-linked PF without chitosan and CPAM, and it was even higher than most of the reported cellulose-based porous materials). Also, the prepared PF has good performance on fire-retardance (hard to light), thermal insulation, antibiosis and sound absorption, due to the synergistic actions of borate, chitosan and CPAM. Additionally, spent liquor in preparing PF could be fully recycled, and thus this sustainable approach has potential for large-scale production of high-performance PF.

Abstract
This research aimed to study the efficacy of oxidation in wood cell walls by ammonium persulfate solution and the performances in sound absorption coefficients and gas permeability for cross sectional Oak wood (Quercus mongolica) species. Reaction parameters were optimized and extensive instrumental characterization techniques were used to study cell wall modifications, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The oxidation treatment changed the chemical compositions of wood (hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin), boosting wood porosity (12%) and gas permeability (39%). The effectiveness accelerates improvement of average sound absorption coefficient at each frequency range: 250-500 Hz (4.6%), 500-1000 Hz (26.8%), 1000-2000 Hz (31.8%), 2000-6400 Hz (57.8%) and overall 250-6400 Hz (47.1%) compared to the control samples. Simple wood oxidation treatment could be helpful for novel research and wood based sound absorption materials to manage the acoustic housing environment.

Abstract
Noise has been regarded as an environmental pollutant that greatly affects people's physical and psychiatric health. Fibrous sound absorption materials are widely used to release the annoyance that brought by noise pollution, however, the fibrous materials are limited by poor sound absorption ability in low-frequency, heavyweight, and excessive thickness. Herein, composite nanofiber aerogels are designed with a hierarchical maze-like microstructure, which is fabricated by interweaving the cellulose nanocrystal lamellas with polyacrylonitrile electrospun nanofiber networks through the freeze-casting technique. The designed maze-like structure shows obvious enhancement in the low-frequency sound absorption band compared to the fiber aerogels made by the network structure. Moreover, through carefully regulating the maze structure, composite nanofiber aerogels with excellent sound absorption performance (with an NRC of 0.58) and lightweight property (11.05 mg cm-3) can be fabricated. In addition to the superior sound absorption ability, the hierarchical nature of the maze-like structure also guarantees the nanofiber aerogels with robust mechanical properties, which can be tailored to various shaped objects on a large scale. These favorable characters present that the composite nanofiber aerogels potential choice for sound absorption in the fields of vehicles, buildings, and indoor reverberation.

Abstract
Ultrafine fibrous porous materials obtained by electrospinning technology have broad application prospects in the field of noise reduction. However, the two-dimensional fibrous membranes faced low thickness and dense structure, resulting in a single internal structure and narrow sound absorption band. Here, we report a simple and robust strategy to prepare gradient structured fiber sponges with superelasticity and stretchability by combining humidity-assisted multi-step electrospinning and a unique physical/chemical dual cross-linking method. The prepared gradient structured fibrous sponge has a maximum tensile strength of 169 kPa and can lift a weight 10,000 times its weight without breaking. Besides, the material can still maintain a stable structure after 500 compression cycles at 60% strain. Meantime, the material has lightweight properties (density of 13.8 mg cm-3) and hydrophobicity (water contact angle of 152°). More importantly, the gradient change of porosity and pore diameter in the Z direction endowed the fibrous sponge material with high-efficiency absorption of broadband sound waves (with a noise reduction coefficient up to 0.53). The design of this gradient structured fiber sponge opens a new way for the development of ideal sound-absorbing materials.

Abstract
Paval, a solid waste stream from the aluminum industry, is used as a pore generation agent in geopolymers. Paval was mixed with coal combustion fly ash, as a geopolymeric precursor, and activated with alkaline solution with the aim of obtaining porous geopolymers to be used as noise barriers. Both geopolymeric and pore generation reactions happen simultaneously. Aluminum from Paval can react with water and OH¯ from the geopolymerization activating solution, producing hydrogen. The hydrogen gas released generates a highly porous material. The influence of the fly ash-paval proportion and the setting temperature on open porosity, compressive strength and noise-absorbing properties were evaluated. To better understand these influences, the setting time, volume expansion and mineral composition were also studied. The obtained results showed that a higher Paval content (fly ash-Paval ratio 50:50) and setting temperature (70 °C) produced a lower setting time and higher volume expansion, increasing the open porosity and improving acoustic properties, but reducing the compressive strength. The material manufactured under these conditions showed similar amorphous phase content to the non-porous geopolymers made without Paval. On the other hand, the obtained materials did not raise environmental concerns in a normalised leaching test.

Abstract
The present study examines the acoustic behavior sample composites made of date palm natural fibers and polyvinyl alcohol. It also provides the comparison between the sound absorption coefficients obtained from the experimental tests and the ones predicted by the mathematical models. An impedance tube system was used to measure the normal sound absorption coefficient of the samples. Using the differential equation algorithm, the predicted sound absorption coefficient for the Johnson-Champoux-Allard model was also calculated. The sound absorption properties of samples increased significantly by increasing the frequency, and increasing the thickness of materials with constant density. Comparison of the data from the experimental tests and mathematical model showed that increasing the thickness of samples will make the predicted and tested values of acoustic absorption coefficient significantly comparable. Date palm fibers have a good potential for dissipating the energy of sound waves particularly when an air gap is introduced behind the sample and can be used as a new source for the fabrication of natural fiber reinforced composites.

Abstract
The Lattice Boltzmann method was used to perform numerical simulations of the sound and turbulent flow inside a standing wave tube terminated by a circular orifice in presence of a forced mean flow. The computational domain comprised a standard virtual impedance tube apparatus in which sound waves were produced by periodic pressure oscillations imposed at one end. An orifice plate was located between the driver and the tube termination. All waves transmitted through the orifice were effectively dissipated by a passively non-reflecting (i.e. anechoic) boundary at the tube termination. A turbulent jet was formed at the discharge of the orifice by the forced mean flow inside the tube. The acoustic impedance and sound absorption coefficient of the orifice plate were calculated from a wave decomposition of the sound field upstream of the orifice. Simulations were carried out for different excitation frequencies, and orifice Mach numbers. Results and trends were in good quantitative agreement with available analytical solutions and experimental data. The Lattice Boltzmann method was found to be an efficient numerical scheme for prediction of sound absorption by realistic three dimensional orifice configurations.
