What are objects that absorb sound?
Usually, stuff that is soft will absorb sound.answ2. Sound is a vibration of air molecules, and anything that may be made to absorb energy from the molecules will absorb sound. If the material has soft fibres, and can allow the sound to penetrate easily, (is porous) then the collision of sound molecules with the fibres, will transfer the energy from the molecules to the inelastic fibres, where it will be dissipated as heat.
Can soft and rough surfaces absorb sound?
The natural property of the material has that ability. Alot of objects absorb wound, for example the sides of your stereo are sound insulators. However, not all have the same or even this ability at all. As for soft and rough, they most likely won't play a factor, therefore you should look into the material of objects to possibly determine the insulation of sound.
What happens to sound it hits an object?
Sound is just a mechanical vibration of the particles which flows in all directions away from the source. It can be reflected from objects or be absorbed...it depends on the type of material, and also its surface - probably a soft material with complicated surface, like wool, or cushion will absorb most of the sound, whereas a hard, compact object with a glazed surface, like glass or concrete, will reflect more.
Why are echos produced in empty areas?
Because there is nothing to 'absorb' the sound, echo's are basically a sound reflected by it hitting a surface, if you walked into a house with nothing in it, just the walls, floorboards or concrete floor and ceilings then the sound echos because there are no soft things or cushiony things to absorb the sound and stop it reflecting.
What materials absorb sound the best and which do not?

Why does cotton absorb water the fastes?
because cotton is a soft type of material
When particles spread?
Sound does not spread out in particles but in waves. Imagine dropping a pebble in a still lake...and that is how sound waves spread out. Sound waves can also reverberate through harder materials; however, soft materials absorb the vibrations.
Why you use soft packing material between glass wares?
soft packing material will absorb any shocks during the journey to destination and protect the glassware from breakage and cracks.
Who does sound travel in produced vibrations?
sounds travel in all directions caused by vibration of an object.sound can be absorbed by soft fabric.
Do sharp hard corners absorb sound?
sound travels in waves. If you have a hard, smooth, flat surface, the sound waves will bounce right back, without absorbing anything. However, if you have a soft irregular surface, the vibrations are easily trapped in the material. It's a pretty vague explanation, but
Why use soft tiles for the ceiling of a recording studio?
Soft surfaces may dampen the reflection of sound waves, but soft tiles are not the only way to improve the sound performance of a surface. The shape of the surface, thickness of the material, and material type are all important.
How does sound proofing work?
Sound proofing works by having alternating layers of material and air that deaden the sound waves as they transfer through each layer. "Soft" materials work well because vibrations/sound waves don't transfer through them as easily. If glass is to be used it needs to be double paned with a vacuum barrier between the two panes
Does aluminium absorbe sound?
This much depends on the properties of the plastic. Foam will reflect little and absorb much. Hard plastic will reflect much and absorb little. Soft plastic will absorb more than hard plastic and reflect more than foam. Regards.
What sounds do weak vibrations produce?
Weak vibrations produce soft or quieter sounds.
