This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces


These smart people at MIT may have found something that has possibilities for audio applications.  I'll take a couple of bolts of this.

@abnerjack You're most welcome. And if we, in audio, have not made the connection, it's hard to imagine others fully realizing it (other than the biologists).

Thanks for sharing. I will be on lookout for this stop noise bleeding from my dedicated music room. Unfortunately, I can’t install a door so this would be perfect. 

We cannot underestimate noise effect on health... But it is a relatively new scientific priority matter:

There is more specific details between the relation of music here and specific disorders cure effects.

It will probably be a little expensive for what it is (sound deadening) but once some audio company gets hold of it and starts selling it, the price will go up astronomically. I'm sure they'll claim it's cryo treated and woven on titanium or rhodium looms to justify the exorbitant prices.
