Abstract
An improved sound reducing panel is disclosed comprising a front porous sheet for enabling sound to enter into the sound reducing panel and a rear non-porous sheet. A sound absorbing member dissipates sound entering into the front porous sheet. A sound blocking member blocks sound from exiting from the sound absorbing member. A decoupling member reduces sonic vibration from being transferred from the sound blocking member to the rear non-porous sheet. One embodiment includes a drenching shield for inhibiting water from entering the sound absorbing member. Another embodiment includes a decorative or artistic image located on the sound reducing panel.
Claims6
A decorative sound reducing panel, comprising:
- a front porous sheet for enabling sound to enter into said sound reducing panel;
- a rear non-porous sheet;
- a sound absorbing member located adjacent to said front porous sheet for dissipating sound entering into said front porous sheet;
- a sound blocking member comprising a sheet of polymeric material having a weight equal to or greater than one pound per square foot located adjacent to said sound absorbing member for blocking sound propagating through said sound absorbing member;
- an aerogel material decoupling member for reducing sonic vibration from being transferred from said sound blocking member to said rear non-porous sheet;
- said sound blocking member being interposed between said sound absorbing member and said aerogel material decoupling member for insulating said sound blocking member from fire or excessive heat;
- and
- a decorative or artistic image located on said sound reducing panel.
