Abstract
A plurality of parallel and laterally spaced impermeable walls define an array of side-by-side elongate fluid filled cavities. Adjacent open ends of the cavities provide a sound-receiving or admittance end for the sound waves into the cavities. An acoustically reflective, preferably impermeable, barrier is disposed adjacent the ends of the cavities remote from their sound-receiving end and terminates the cavities. The cavities are uniquely configured to provide an effective geometrical sound absorbing structure while minimizing the structural elements required and, thus, the cost of manufacture.
