Abstract: Sound waves of an amplitude having a waveform (first value as a function of time and a first maximum) pass into a manifold, which subdivides flow and sound into multiple paths of differing length, yielding transit times offsetting the arrival of each instance of the waveform at an outlet or exit. This minimizes the addition of energy (sound volume, amplitude) arriving at the exit or terminus from each path. Amplitude is thereby reduced (although the waveform shape remains), repeated and offset by the transit time delays of paths discharging at the terminus. One may select the number of paths based on a desired reduction in the sound amplitude. That number is approximately inversely proportional to the ratio of the reduction. For example, six unique paths in an experiment reduced original amplitude (sound volume) to a sixth at an exit.
