Abstract
Different materials have been used as micro-perforated or perforated panels for applications as sound absorbers. The theory of microperforated panel sound absorbers introduced by D.-Y. Maa in 1975 is independent on the material of the panel. So also micro-perforations in wooden panels will give sound absorption. In combination with porous absorbants the efficiency of the absorbers set-ups can be improved. Modern manufacturing tools for wood and wooden veneers allow for perforations of submillimeter diameters of the single pores. Optically these perforations hardly change the impression of the wooden panel. Acoustically the combination of perforated wooden panels and a backing cavity give highly effective sound absorbers. Measured sound absorption coefficients of various set-ups with (micro-)perforated wooden panels will be presented. The new possibilities in design and applications in architectural acoustics will be discussed.
