Multibody chambered acoustic attenuator for a data storage system

A chambered acoustic attenuator for suppressing acoustic sound pressure, the acoustic attenuator comprising:

• a plate part comprising one or more airflow orifices;
• a complementary arched part comprising one or more airflow orifices and coupled with the plate part thereby forming a chamber assembly having an interior space;
• an acoustic damping sheet covering an interior surface of the plate part;
• and
• an acoustic damping sheet covering each of an interior surface and an exterior surface of the complementary arched part.

A data storage system comprising:

• a plurality of data storage devices;
• cooling means for cooling the data storage devices;
• and
• chambered damping means including a plate component comprising a plurality of first airflow holes and a complementary arched component comprising a plurality of second airflow holes and coupled with the plate component to form an interior volume, and positioned between the cooling means and the data storage devices for damping sound pressure from the cooling means toward the data storage devices while simultaneously providing a circuitous airflow path from the cooling means to the data storage devices.
