Abstract
Provided is a nonwoven fabric that exhibits sound absorption performance and has excellent sound insulation properties in a wide frequency range of 200-2000 Hz. The present invention relates to a nonwoven fabric containing fibrillated fibers and having a tensile modulus of 10 MPa or more, a soundproofing material made of the nonwoven fabric, and a composite soundproofing material made by laminating the soundproofing material and a support.
