  • Publication number: 20230267907
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a multi-layered sound absorption structure. The multi-layered sound absorption structure may include a form material, an acoustic material disposed on a surface of the form material, and a construction material disposed on the acoustic material. The acoustic material may couple to the construction material during curing of the construction material. After the construction material is cured, the form material may be removed exposing a least a portion of the acoustic material.

  • Publication number: 20220139365
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of manufacturing an acoustic absorption system. The acoustic absorption system can include a curtain that includes one or more insulating or acoustic absorption sheets. The manufacturing method uses press welding to seal the insulating sheets between a first layer of material and a second layer of material. Each insulating sheets is disposed within a corresponding compartment of the acoustic absorption system and an entire perimeter of each compartment can be sealed simultaneously, wherein the seals form a plurality of panels.
