Abstract
A sound-absorbing material nonwoven fabric includes: 30 to 80 mass % of short fibers A having a fineness of 0.4 to 0.9 dtex; and 20 to 70 mass % of short fibers B having a fineness of 1.1 to 20.0 dtex. A carding passage coefficient of the short fibers A calculated from equation (1) is in a range of 15 to 260. The equation (1) is carding passage coefficient=(fineness×strength×√elongation percentage×√number of crimps×√crimping degree)/(fiber length).
