knitted wire mesh provides exceptionally efficient absorption of high-energy sound. Beyond acting as a physical barrier, mesh also causes sound to vibrate as it imparts the wire surface, thereby converting sound to thermal energy, effectively dampening, absorbing, and dissipating equipment and plant-generated noise through an intricate path between a sound source and the ear.
Thus knitted wire mesh combines all three approaches to sound attenuation in one composite structure: it acts as a reflecting barrier, a vibration damper, and a sound absorber.
