| Abstract Scope |
Urban facades are increasingly contributing to elevated noise levels due to the prevalence of highly reflective surfaces, which intensify sound reverberation and overall noise energy. This study investigates the acoustic behavior of conventional facade materials enhanced with rice husk nanoparticles (RHNPs) as a sustainable additive. Various composites—mortar, concrete, putty, and resin—were formulated with increasing concentrations of RHNPs and evaluated for their sound absorption performance. Results indicate a consistent improvement in acoustic attenuation properties as RHNP content increases, suggesting the potential of RHNP-based composites as effective and environmentally friendly sound-absorbing materials for urban architecture. |
