An evaluation of the possibility of using a vacuum layer in soundproofing panels

One of the current problems of modern life is protection from noise on the ways of its propagation. Currently, there is a need in reducing noise in various fields of human activity. The noise of short-term exposure does not make any significant changes in the human body; the problem is mainly with prolonged negative sounds, which can be tackled through various methods and approaches. In the trajectory of noise control, various solutions to the problem were proposed. The study distinguishes method of applying vacuum to protect against noise. From the standpoint of physics, a vacuum is an ideal medium that prevents the propagation of sound waves. However, many attempts to apply vacuum in the design of sound protection devices have not shown good results. Currently, the researchers continue the search for devices that use a vacuum layer to protect against noise.
