Abstract
Sound absorbing material are widely use in application. It was started from asbestos-based material and now generally fabricated from synthetic materials. These non-biodegradable materials do not only cause pollution to the environment, but also contribute significantly in increasing the CO2 causing the effect of global warming. Therefore researchers have now driven their attentions to find sustainable and eco-friendly materials to be an alternative sound absorber. This paper discusses the use of natural fibers from dried paddy straw as fibrous acoustic material. Since these are common natural waste materials found across South East Asia, the usage will also minimize the production cost. Panels of sound absorbers from paddy straw are fabricated using hot press and their acoustic properties are investigated through experiment. The effect of the binder on the acoustic performance of the panel is investigated. In average, good sound absorption coefficient is found particularly above 2 kHz.
