sound can travel through any solid, liquid or gas such as :metal, wood, water and air.
Materials that absorb sounds are: cloth, cotton, carpets, cork, rubber, paper.
Materials that reflect sounds: metals, concrete walls, thick walls
There are a number of materials that insulate sound. Examples of these materials include foam panels, sheet metal rails, drywall and even some types of soundproof paint.
Matter, all matter; be that solid, liquid, or gas.
Sound can travel through water and metal but it's impossible for it to travel to space
earplugs,earmuffs
curtains, wardrobes, cushions, clothes
metal
Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.
No they most definitely do not absorb sound
Darker materials tend to absorb solar heat, while lighter materials reflect it.
Cotton absorb sound because it has small area that sound penetrate and doesn't reflect .
metal
Materials that absorb and isolate sound and reduce reverberation, including felts, tiles, boards, and plasters.
Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.
No they most definitely do not absorb sound
No, concrete does not absorb sound as it very dense.
It is likely true that absolutely everything is capable of absorbing sound waves; if there are materials that cannot, they would be special indeed. Some materials are much better than others, but even the materials that are most resistant would be absorbing small amounts of energy from sound waves, assuming that the material is in a medium (like air) capable of transporting sound.
Sound cancelling headphones work in two ways. Firstly, they are created from materials that do not absorb sound easily. Secondly, quality speakers are used in order to deliver sound in a directional manner.

Darker materials tend to absorb solar heat, while lighter materials reflect it.
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.
