porous . Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.Uses
They are used in
auditoriums ,halls ,seminar rooms ,libraries ,courts and wherever sound insulation is needed. Acoustic boards are also used in speaker boxes.Notes
