Overview of acoustical materials, via Thomasnet.com website, Oct. 11, 2022 (Acoustical materials are a variety of foams, fabrics, metals, etc. used to quiet workplaces, homes, automobiles, and so forth to increase the comfort and safety of their inhabitants by reducing noise generated both inside and outside of those spaces. Acoustical materials are used in two major ways: as soundproofing, by which noise generated from outside a given space is blocked from entering the space; and, as sound absorbing, where noise generated within a space is reduced inside the space itself)
