Aircraft interior acoustic noise control

An experimental study was perfonned to determine which materials are best suited for internal aircraft noise reduction. An impedance tube with dimensions of a scaled aircraft was constructed and evaluated, and eleven materials were tested and compared based on their noise reduction properties, weight, and thickness. Polyvinylidene Fluoride was tested for use in active noise control for a large space.
