Russia has developed a material for effective noise suppression

A Russian newspaper published material reporting that Russia has developed material for

effective noise suppression. The domestic development was created by specialists from the Nizhny Novgorod University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, who nicknamed it the acoustic “black hole”.

Thanks to the so-called metamaterial, it becameIt is possible to produce light and oversized soundproofing structures. In particular, their weight can be reduced by up to 60%, while their thickness can be reduced by up to 30%. It is noted that using the new product when decorating an apartment, you can reduce background noise by 8-15 decibels.

”Our material is a kind of acoustic"Black hole", in which the noise energy is absorbed and the volume drops sharply, "- said Dmitry Monich, Ph.D. According to the source, today the metamaterial developed by Russian scientists has no analogues that could be used in construction.
