An apparatus for limiting transmission of sound from a sound emitter, the apparatus comprising:
- a sound barrier, the sound barrier comprising a container retaining a liquid, wherein the liquid comprises at least 2% dissolved oxygen by volume;
- and,
- an agitator configured to agitate the liquid, to thereby cause the formation of gas bubbles in the liquid.
A method of limiting transmission of sound from a sound emitter, the sound emitter being at least partially surrounded by a liquid, the liquid comprising at least 2% dissolved oxygen by volume, and the method comprising:
- causing agitation of the liquid in the container to thereby cause the formation of gas bubbles in the liquid,
- optionally wherein the liquid is retained by a container, the container at least partially surrounding the sound emitter.
