Abstract

At present, in order to solve noise pollution, many experts are studying methods to improve the noise reduction performance of sound barriers and acoustic devices. However,the development of sound-absorbing structures under external noise environments with multiple frequencies has not made significant progress.To improve the sound absorption performance (SAP) and sound insulation performance (SIP) of structures, a novel cavity-imitating sound-absorbing structure model was established based on the multi-cavity resonance structure of conches. By performing experiments with an impedance tube and finite element simulation, the internal design of, and experimental results from a conch-imitating cavity structure (CICS) were analysed. In addition, a variety of structural parameters were investigated and the application of the sound absorber was analyzed. The analytical results showed that the CICS exhibits excellent SAP at low and intermediate frequencies. The peak frequency and sound absorption bandwidth can be changed and optimised by adjusting the structural parameters. The results show that the structure can effectively improve the sound absorption and insulation performance of the sound barrier to achieve the purpose of improving the acoustic performance, and proposes a new solution for the realisation of sound absorption and noise reduction in a multi-noise environment.
