Acoustical Modeling: How to Simulate and Predict Sound Fields



Whether you are looking to match your current décor with fabric wall panels or block sound from transferring from room to room with vinyl noise barriers or need vibration mounts, ASI has you covered. ASI also offers a full line of acoustical foam for ceiling and wall applications, sound control doors and ceiling tiles for soundproofing ceilings. All of our sound absorbing and soundproof materials for walls and other applications have independent sound and flammability tests. Plus, most of our products offered are ASTM E84 tested Class A-1 non-flammable. Acoustical Surfaces offers everything you need for Commercial, Industrial, Educational, House of Worship, Pro Audio, OEM, Home Theater and other Residential applications.


A performer used a great deal of ingenuity to create a successful acoustically recorded performance. The artist manipulated the voice and stance before the horn, moving away from the horn for louder and higher notes to prevent distortion, and moving toward the horn to prevent under-recording soft sounds. Consequently these movements could distort the dynamics intended by the composer of a musical selection.

The acoustical recording process could capture only a limited range of audio frequencies-approximately 100 to 2500 Hz. In the acoustic era, banjo, xylophone, trumpet, trombone, and tenor and baritone voices reproduced better than others. This constraint influenced the repertoire of early recordings. When acoustic recording improved later, the repertoire was expanded.

Why is QuietSound the premier solution to abate noise transmission from foot traffic and electronics in multi-story buildings? It all starts with resilience. QuietSound resists permanent compression while offering excellent underfoot comfort. This acoustical rubber underlayment properly deflects compression when put under stress (e.g., the pressure of a footstep) and returns to its original form when not under stress. Cork and foam underlayment products are not resilient and often remain permanently compressed just after a year of use. As a result, the sound insulation for these inferior underlayment products will decline significantly and rapidly following initial use.


QuietSound acoustical underlayment is suitable for all conventional subfloors and floor coverings. QuietSound is easy to install using Patriot, Eagle Grip adhesive or an approved rubber bonding adhesive.


In 2019, the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) launched - what would become - a three-phase acoustical barrier replacement program. Currently, phases 1 and 2 have been complete. The first two phases of the program involved the removal of Type B barrier.


Currently, the program is well underway as new acoustical barrier is being installed along the Metrorail system, except for the Airport and Palmetto extensions as well as a half-mile area between the Brickell and Vizcaya Metrorail stations. To minimize the impact of the program, most of the work is taking place late at night with some weekend work when ridership is at its lowest.


This note summarizes the characterization of the acoustic properties of four materials intended for the development of tissue, and especially breast tissue, phantoms for the use in photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging. The materials are agar, silicone, polyvinyl alcohol gel (PVA) and polyacrylamide gel (PAA). The acoustical properties, i.e., the speed of sound, impedance and acoustic attenuation, are determined by transmission measurements of sound waves at room temperature under controlled conditions. Although the materials are tested for application such as photoacoustic phantoms, we focus here on the acoustic properties, while the optical properties will be discussed elsewhere. To obtain the acoustic attenuation in a frequency range from 4 MHz to 14 MHz, two ultrasound sources of 5 MHz and 10 MHz core frequencies are used. For preparation, each sample is cast into blocks of three different thicknesses. Agar, PVA and PAA show similar acoustic properties as water. Within silicone polymer, a significantly lower speed of sound and higher acoustical attenuation than in water and human tissue were found. All materials can be cast into arbitrary shapes and are suitable for tissue-mimicking phantoms. Due to its lower speed of sound, silicone is generally less suitable than the other presented materials.


Acoustical engineers are problem solvers and opportunity makers involving sound in the natural or made world. Their focus may be concerned with limiting unwanted sound (noise) or improving and enhancing sound quality. Students interested in acoustical engineering are sometimes musicians, or have an interest in how sound impacts the environment around us.


Their work may include: designing acoustically efficient settings (music halls to the inside of a car) to designing ear buds, head phones, microphones, and hearing aids. They may be involved in consulting, or even work in the military or military contracting using acoustics to support our armed forces and naval defense systems.

Traditional acoustical drop ceiling tiles are designed to reduce the echo within a space. They do so by allowing noise to pass through them, from the occupied space below, into the void above the tiles. This means that sound in pipes and ductwork and noise from equipment can also pass through them, disturbing people in rooms below. Acoustic Ceiling Tile Covers are needed to prevent this.


Silencers provide effective, predictable sound and noise reduction for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. They do their job by utilizing acoustical baffles as means for broadband sound attenuation in HVAC systems. All of these duct silencers are passive in design. They do not require mechanical or electrical means to function.


Rest assured that we have not only a solution, but the right solution, to resolve your acoustical or noise concerns. Request a quote with the button below or contact us for more information about our soundproofing services at 413-248-8118.


Acoustical Elements was founded in 2006 as an acoustical material rep. Since then Acoustical Elements has grown to encompass all phases of acoustical design and installation with an emphasis on specialty projects. Based out of Aurora Colorado, AE serves the Rocky Mountain region including New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming & Montana.


As an acoustical engineer, you'll be concerned with the management and application of sound-producing vibrations in real-world situations. Many acoustical engineers work with architects to help design buildings in order to control sound diffraction, refraction, absorption and reverberation. You may be focused on creating sound-proof environments, such as recording studios, or on developing the high-quality acoustics of auditoriums, concert halls or public meeting areas. You could also be concerned with noise control or noise reduction, which could be necessary in a factory or other industrial setting.


Typically, you'll be qualified for a job as an acoustical engineer after completing a bachelor's degree. Acoustical engineering programs may not be available at the undergraduate level, but relevant majors can include physics, mechanical engineering, mathematics or electrical engineering.
