SCIENCE FIGHTS NOISE

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Up -
Richard N. Hamme, research phys
icist, heads a staff of acoustical
and electronics engineers whose
aim is to trap sound and to some
extent destroy it. They are work
ing to lessen sound on naval ships
to avoid detection by enemies and
in aircraft to help eliminate pilot
fatigue.
One of the weapons in the battle
against sound is a large room built
on its own foundation, completely
Independent of the building that
surrounds it. 1t has I2-inch con-
crete walls, especially hardened on
the inside to keep sound in.
There is a giant paddle, 8 by 16
feet. Hamme explains that sound
bOunces around in different wave
lengths. The paddle mixes it up to
make it as equal as possible all
over the room.
The staff will determine how long
it takes sound to die in the room
when it is empty; then with vary
ing objects in the room. 1t then
can figure what objects or mate
rails absorb it most readily.
Hamme says there is a much
easier way of Kidding the world of
noise: Just pull the switch. But
