sound absorption
Acoustic energy capture
Sound absorption is the process by which materials convert sound energy into heat, reducing noise levels and echo.
Acoustic panels, carpets, and foam are common sound-absorbing materials used in recording studios, theaters, and offices.
The opposite effect—sound reflection—creates reverberation.
The room's poor sound absorption made conversations difficult.
