Abstract: L'invention vise un panneau acoustique multi-composite utilisable à titre d'appui pour plancher ou murs. Ce panneau est composé de 15 à 65% de particules de brin de scie avec une granulométrie de 4 à 60 mèches; de 25 à  75% de poudrettes ou autres dérivés du pétrole ou de caoutchouc recyclé avec une granulométrie de 4 à 30 mèches; et de 3 à 20% d'un liant à base de polyuréthane d'élastomère, les pourcentages étant exprimeés en poids par rapport au poids total du panneau. En pratique, le caoutchouc agit comme élément anti-vibration et le brin de scie agit comme élément absorbant l~énergie acoustique car ce type de fibre est évidé dans le centre, ce qui lui donne un rôle d'absorption que la particule de caoutchouc n'a pas. Elle possède donc la capacité de réduire un impact.
