Abstract

A sound absorbing apparatus includes a first member including at least one first opening portion for enabling Helmholtz resonance, and a second member that is on the first member, has a plate shape or a sheet shape, and is formed of a porous material. The second member includes at least one second opening portion overlapping one-to-one with the at least one first opening portion in planar view. A periphery of each of the at least one second opening portion coincides with or is located outside a periphery of each corresponding one of the at least one first opening portion in planar view.

Claims (24)

1. A sound absorbing apparatus comprising:

a first member including at least one first opening portion for enabling Helmholtz resonance; and

a second member that is disposed on the first member, has a plate shape or a sheet shape, and is formed of a porous material,

wherein the second member includes at least one second opening portion overlapping one-to-one with the at least one first opening portion in planar view,

wherein a periphery of each of the at least one second opening portion is located outside a periphery of each corresponding one of the at least one first opening portion in planar view, and

wherein the at least one first opening portion has a width d, the at least one second opening portion has a width d1, and d1/d is greater than 1.0 and is not greater than 6.0.

2. The sound absorbing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture ratio of an area of the at least one second opening portion relative to an area of the second member is equal to or less than 50%.

3. The sound absorbing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first member includes:

a planar or a sheet-like base material; and

a tubular sound absorbing member penetrating through the base material and having the at least one first opening portion thereon.

4. The sound absorbing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is a hollow container communicating with outside of the hollow container via the at least one first opening portion.

5. The sound absorbing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a third member on an opposite side of the first member to the second member; and

a plurality of fourth members that couple the second member and the third member and hold the first member between the second member and the third member.

6. The sound absorbing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first member has a plate shape or a sheet shape.

7. A sound absorption structure comprising:

a sound absorbing apparatus; and

a wall body on which the sound absorbing apparatus is installed,

wherein the sound absorbing apparatus comprises:

a first member including at least one first opening portion for enabling Helmholtz resonance; and

a second member that is disposed on the first member, has a plate shape or a sheet shape, and is formed of a porous material,

wherein the second member includes at least one second opening portion overlapping one-to-one with the at least one first opening portion in planar view,

wherein a periphery of each of the at least one second opening portion is located outside a periphery of each corresponding one of the at least one first opening portion in planar view, and

wherein the at least one first opening portion has a width d, the at least one second opening portion has a width d1, and d1/d is greater than 1.0 and is not greater than 6.0.
