TITLE| ACOUSTIC MATERIALS

1.) According to the Noise Level Decibel Chart, on what sound level has no risk of hearing
danger?
a. 0-85 dB c. 100-120 dB
b. 130-150 dB d. 150+ dB
2.) According to the Noise Level Decibel Chart, on what sound level has the high risk of hearing
damage?
a. 0-85 dB c. 100-120 dB
b. 130-150 dB d. 150+ dB
3.) This is the pitch, tone, and wavelength. It depends on materiality and sound energy hitting a
surface to reflect.
a. Sound Level c. Sound Propagation
b. Sound Frequency d. None of the Above
4.) This is the energy, strength, amplitude, and loudness of sound. With greater amplitude
comes increased sound level, higher sound intensity, and higher sound pressure
a. Sound Level c. Sound Propagation
b. Sound Frequency d. None of the Above
5.) This is the path and elapsed time of sound.
a. Sound Level c. Sound Propagation
b. Sound Frequency d. None of the Above
6.) Substances or products designed to manage and control sound waves by either absorbing,
diffusing, or blocking them.
a. Soundproofing c. Mass Loaded Vinyl
b. Sound absorption d. Acoustical Materials
7.) Products that keep sound contained in a space, making it impossible for sound to leave or
enter a room.
a. Soundproofing c. Mass Loaded Vinyl
b. Sound absorption d. Acoustical Materials
8.) Products that absorb the extra sound waves that bounce around a space and cause poor
acoustics, background noise, and bad echo.
a. Soundproofing c.Mass Loaded Vinyl
b. Sound absorption d. Acoustical Materials
9.) According to Vitrivius, sounding vases or __________ were used in certain ancient open-air
theatres.
a. Amphora c.Crater
b. Echeia d. Ewer
10.) Collectively termed “fuzz”—include glass fiber, mineral fiber, fiberboard, acoustical ceiling
tile, cotton, pressed wood shavings oriented to foster pores, cotton, velour, felt, and open‐
celled foams.
a. Porous sound absorbers c.Panel Sound Absorbers
b. Fibrous sound absorbers d. Resonant Sound Absorbers
11.) These are absorbers that include materials of inorganic and metallic fibers, synthetic fibers,
natural fibers, and nanofibrous membranes for noise reduction.
a. Porous sound absorbers c.Panel Sound Absorbers
b. Fibrous sound absorbers d. Resonant Sound Absorbers
12.) Sound-absorbing fabric-wrapped boards designed to control echo and reverberation in a
room. Most commonly used to resolve speech intelligibility issues in commercial soundproofing
treatments.
a. Porous sound absorbers c.Panel Sound Absorbers
b. Fibrous sound absorbers d. Resonant Sound Absorbers
13.) Equivalent parallel connection of multiple Helmholtz resonator, where acoustic energy is
consumed by the internal resonance effect
a. Porous sound absorbers c.Panel Sound Absorbers
b. Fibrous sound absorbers d. Resonant Sound Absorbers
14.) A phenomenon where sound can find its way through the smallest gaps in an otherwise
impenetrable barrier.
a. Reducing c.Flanking
b. Diffusing d. Adjoining
15) These are free hanging sound absorption products that are often used to acoustically treat
large rooms such as gymnasiums and lobbies.
a. Ceiling Baffles c.Ceiling Banner
b. Wall Coverings d. Ceiling Tiles
16) These are large sound absorbers that are visually and architecturally pleasing that hang in a
loose, flowing fashion or install flush to the roof deck for a flat appearance.
a. Ceiling Baffles c.Ceiling Banner
b. Wall Coverings d. Ceiling Tiles
17) Devices or materials designed to scatter or distribute sound waves in different directions,
helping to reduce echoes and improve the overall acoustic quality of a space.
a. Sound Absorbers c.Sound Reflectors
b. Sound Diffusers d. Sound Resonator
18.) Sound absorbers are a type of acoustic insulation that trap sounds, an audible form of
energy that travels through the air as invisible waves.
a. Sound Absorbers c.Sound Reflectors
b. Sound Diffusers d. Sound Resonator
19.) These diffusers have a series of evenly spaced, vertically oriented fins or blocks that vary in
height. They scatter sound waves in both horizontal and vertical directions
a. Skyline Sound Diffusers c.Pyramid Sound Diffusers
b. Quadratic Diffusers d. Barrel Diffusers
20.) Provide balanced sound throughout a performance space and help reduce excessive
sound concentration or “hot spots”.
a. Skyline Sound Diffusers c.Pyramid Sound Diffusers
b. Quadratic Diffusers d. Barrel Diffusers
