ABSTRACT:
A sound attenuator formed by a bank of at least three wall mounted tubes extending into a room from which noise originates and also into an adjacent occupied room. Each tube is cylindrical and has a length between one sixth and one third wavelength of sound in air at the highest frequency in the low frequency waveband in which the reactive acoustical properties of the tubes are effective. The diameter of each tube is less than about one sixth wavelength. The size, arrangement and spacing of the tubes are selected to take good advantage of the operative acoustical phenomena, including the quarter wavelength effect, the duct end loss effect and the multiple tube effect.
