摘要

This study explores the acoustic properties of three tropical woods—Cajuput (Melaleuca cajuputi), Mangium (Acacia mangium), and Mango (Mangifera indica)—as sustainable materials for sound absorption. The wood samples were prepared in a standardized cylindrical shape, impregnated with zinc chloride (ZnCl2), engine oil (EO), or coconut oil (CO), and subjected to heat treatment at 105 °C for 3 h. Acoustic analyses using an impedance tube revealed that CO treatment notably enhanced the Sound Absorption Average (SAA), with Cajuput wood showing a remarkable 53% improvement. Sound absorption performance varied across frequency ranges, with EO and CO treatments notably improving low, medium, and high-frequency bands in most woods, while ZnCl2 exhibited less pronounced effects. However, all treatments reduced Sound Transmission Loss (STL), indicating a trade-off between sound absorption and insulation properties. Statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA confirmed the significant influence of wood type and treatment on acoustic performance across all parameters. These findings underscore the potential of tropical woods, particularly when treated with eco-friendly substance like coconut oil, as sustainable acoustic materials.
