Abstract

The sound attenuation performance of a micro-perforated panel (MPP) with adjoining air space is demonstrated for a plenum. The study compares the sound field inside of a plenum for two cases. In the first case, the plenum was treated with an MPP and adjoining air cavity without any partitioning. For the second case, the adjoining air cavity is partitioned into a number of subcavities. The resulting sound pressure fields indicate that partitioning the adjoining air cavity increases the overall attenuation due to the MPP by approximately 4 dB. The explanation for this phenomenon was investigated by measuring the sound pressure level in a plane anterior to the MPP.
