Acoustic foam

Acoustic foam

Acoustic foam is foam used to isolate sound, such as for soundproofing. It is typically open-celled. It attenuates airborne sound waves by increasing air resistance, thus reducing the amplitude of the waves. The energy is dissipated as heat.

Many acoustic foam products are treated with dyes and/or fire retardants.
