Styrofoam does absorb sound but it reflects it also. It absorbs more than a brick wall but not as much as softer foams. It does make very good heat insulation.
Styrofoam can help reduce sound transmission because its structure can absorb and dampen sound waves. However, it may not completely block all types of sound depending on the frequency and intensity of the sound. Additional soundproofing materials or methods may be needed for more effective sound blocking.
The sound of styrofoam rubbing against each other is often described as a squeaky or squeaking noise.
Copper has a higher heat capacity than styrofoam. This means that copper can absorb more heat before its temperature increases compared to styrofoam.
No, concrete does not absorb sound as it very dense.
No. Soundproof is a very porous material (having lots of holes) so sound can very easily pass through. There are better alternatives for soundproofing, many of which are generally inexpensive. Green Glue, for example, can be easily applied to the walls and covered with a new layer of drywall. It takes a bit more effort, but the results will be notable.
reverberants
No they most definitely do not absorb sound
Yes, jute bags can help absorb sound due to their fibrous texture which can help dampen sound waves. However, the degree to which they absorb sound may be limited compared to specialized sound-absorbing materials.
no
nope
No.
Yes, paper can absorb some amount of sound due to its porous nature. However, it is not as effective as other materials like foam or fabric in absorbing sound. Thicker and denser papers will absorb more sound than thin or lightweight papers.
