Almost any solid, gas or liquid will conduct sound. Insulator of sound is not a proper term, and in the acoustic field, materials are divided into sound barriers, and sound absorbers.
A sound barrier is used to prevent sound from travelling from one area to another. It will usually be massive, and with the spring and mass properties as different from air as possible. Concrete is excellent, and gypsum wallboard is good.
A fairly ordinary sound barrier will reduce the sound transmission between spaces by 30dB or so, and a good one would reduce it by greater than 60dB.
[Between 1/000 and 1/000 000] Sound barriers should be without perforations.
A sound absorber is a material that will stop sound from reverberating round a space. [Reverberation is continuous reflection.] Porous fibrous material are good for this purpose. Materials such as fiberglass, cotton waste, open-cell foams are good. A sound absorber will be able to reduce the sound level in a space by 10dB and perhaps as much as 15dB. [1/10 to 1/30.]
What else can I help you with?
Is a plastic straw a condutor or insulator?
A plastic straw is an insulator because it does not conduct electricity. Insulators have high electrical resistance and do not allow the flow of electric current through them.
Is oil a condutor or an insulator?
Oil is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well due to its low electrical conductivity, which makes it a good material for insulating purposes in various applications.
Is toothpick a insulator or a condutor?
insulator, a conductor is usually metal. thats why the handles of pots and pans are made of plastic and wood
Is a stick a insulator or a conductor?
An insulator for heat and (less so) for electricity. A conductor for sound and vibration.
Is rubber of sound a conductor or insulator?
Rubber is an insulator of sound, as it dampens and absorbs sound waves rather than allowing them to pass through. Rubber is a poor conductor of sound due to its molecular structure, which hinders the transmission of vibrations.
Is glass a condutor or insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Is glass insulator or condutor?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Is glass a thermal condutor or insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
What are defense?
mechanics that act as an insulator or condutor
Is a steel washer a conductor or insulator?
condutor
What are defense mechanism?
Hiding
Is a potholder a condutor or an insulator?
A potholder is an insulator. Its purpose is to insulate against the heat of the pots that you pick up.
Is saltwater a condutor or insulator?
It conducts electricity. REALLY good conductor.
Is a toothpick a condutor or a insulator?
insulator, a conductor is usually metal. thats why the handles of pots and pans are made of plastic and wood
Is a computer a insulator or a conductor?
If it overheats (the fan is blocked or isn't enough to keep it cooled), then yes it is :)
Is copper wire a condutor or insulator?
Copper wire is a conductor of electricity. Its high conductivity allows electric current to flow easily through it.
Is neon a good condutor of electricity?
no. neon is a non metal and have completely filled electron configuration and is an insulator
