AB - The aim of this paper is to find the relation between material parameters and insertion loss of different
fabrics using statistical analysis. This research primarily deals with the sound absorption analysis of
different uncoated and coated woven textiles fabrics used for curtains as household textiles. The analysis
of surface morphology was done by scanning electron microscopy to determine the significance of surface
structure onto the sound insulation property. The acoustic properties were measured by reverberation
method. The maximum sound insertion loss, minimum sound insertion loss, over all sound insertion loss
and percentage improvement in sound insertion loss has been discussed and suggested the woven textiles
to be better sound absorber at higher frequencies. Moreover, the effect structural parameters on average
sound insulation index were analyzed using SPSS software. The results revealed that warp density, linear
density of warp yarn, thickness are influential parameters for the sound insulation property of uncoated
fabric whereas the areal density, linear density of warp yarn and thickness influence the sound insulation
property coated fabrics.
