Noise control

Noise control is something that helps us to keep loud sounds from being too loud and annoying. It can be used to reduce the noise from a loud TV or the sound from construction. It can also be used to protect your ears from really loud noises, like firecrackers or fireworks. Noise control works by using things like thicker walls and doors, soundproof curtains, and special materials on the walls and windows to keep the noise from coming in or going out. It can also use machines called sound absorbers to take in the sound and block it from reaching your ears.
