Claim Text:
1. A noise abatement system, comprising: a plurality of noise abating resonators, each resonator holding a gas therein and being responsive to acoustic energy in a vicinity of said resonator; said resonators arranged into a deployable arrangement within a collapsible frame so that said deployable arrangement provides a deployed configuration of said resonators in said frame when the system is deployed, and a stowed configuration of said resonators in said frame when the system is not deployed; said deployed configuration having said frame in an extended position so that said resonators are spaced further apart from one another than they would be when stowed, and said stowed configuration having said frame in a contracted position so that said resonators are spaced closer together than they would be when deployed; and said frame including an upper cross member comprising a buoyant material that maintains the upper cross member separated and above a lower cross member of said frame when said system is deployed in water.
