Sound conductivity Air

Air sound conductivity (synonym - air conductivity) is a physical characteristic that determines the ability of air to conduct sound waves.

The air environment has elastic properties that allow sound to travel. Sound waves are vibrations of air particles that are transmitted from one particle to another.

The amount of sound conductivity depends on the density of the air, its temperature, humidity and other parameters. The higher the density of the air, the better it conducts sound. An increase in temperature and humidity also contributes to an increase in sound conductivity.

The sound conductivity of air affects the nature of the propagation of sound waves in open space. It determines the attenuation of sound with distance and the possibility of echo formation. Understanding airborne sound conduction is important when designing outdoor sound reinforcement systems.

Air permeability is the ability of a material or structure to allow air, gas or vapor to pass through it. In practice, this is expressed as the amount of air passing through a unit area per unit time under given conditions. Typically, materials with good air permeability have fairly large pores and a wide diameter, as this allows air to move freely inside. IN
