Creating efficient bass absorbers with a cat inside a linoleum shelter


Linoleum can convert bass sound to heat due to its eleatomer properties [Gilford]


A 3D linoleum object can be far from the room walls where sound particle velocity is large thereby increasing sound absorption properties.


A 3D object will also scatter, diffuse sound field thereby increasing absorption [see Harry Olson Patents, Gilford] as well as having important sound scattering properties.


A 3D structure made of linoleum, pyramid etc provided it had adequate fresh air ventilation openings can become a shelter for a domestic animal such as a cat. This takes further advantage of the hygienic and insulating properties of linoleum.


A cat for example inside its shelter or small house, with a nice big open arcade for ventilation, can increase absorption by its fur!


Only problem is what happens when cat wakes up hungry while recording music.
