  • Acoustic insulator for controlling noise generated in a mass storage device
    Patent number: 6501614
    Abstract: A hard disk drive which has a housing that can attenuate noise. The housing may include a first layer that is attached to a second layer and a third layer located between the first and second layers. The layers may be designed to create a transfer function that attenuates, or rolls off, acoustic noise within a range of frequencies.
