USE OF DAMPING MATERIALS FOR NOISE REDUCTION ON PASSENGER SHIP
Survey of noise and vibration levels in car-carrying passenger ship indicates that an important contribution to noise in some of passenger cabins is due to reverberation of large areas of metal forming the walls and floor in adjacent store area. Trials are described in which approximately 800 sq ft of viscoelastic damping material is applied to these surfaces. A small but significant reduction in cabin noise level is obtained. It is argued that large scale use of damping materials at the time of building could result in appreciably quieter ships.
