Sound proofing is any means of reducing the intensity of sound with respect to a specified source and receptor.
Sound absorption is achieved with the use of soft, porous, open-celled materials, such as flexible polyurethane foam and other acoustical foams, which provide non-reflective surfaces in order to reduce noise levels in applications, including machine enclosures and housings and medical and industrial equipment.
Sound proofing for a product, building, or manufacturing process may also be necessary in order to comply with government regulations for noise control.

  Sound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In sound waves parts of matter (molecules or groups of molecules) move in a direction of the spreading of the disturbance (as opposite to transversal waves).
A sound wave is usually represented graphically by a wavy, horizontal line; the upper part of the wave (the crest) indicates a compression and the lower part (the trough) indicates a rarefaction.
The characteristics of sound are frequency, wavelength, amplitude and velocity.

 Soundproofing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sound proofing is any mechanism used to reduce the conduction of sound through a barrier or into a soundproofed chamber.
There are several different basic approaches to reducing sound; increasing space in which the sound dissipates, using massive barriers to absorb the energy of the sound waves, using dampening structures such as sound baffles, or using active antinoise sound generators.
This is the reason why open-celled foam is such a good sound dampening substance; the sound waves are forced to travel through multiple foam cells and foam cell walls as it passes through the foam piece.

In geography, a sound is a large ocean inlet, or a narrow ocean channel between two bodies of land.
Most sounds are combinations of signals, but a theoretical pure sound can be described as having a given speed of oscillation or frequency measured in hertz (Hz) and amplitude or energy with measures such as decibel level.
The amplitude of a sound wave is measured in pascals, and the intensity of a sound is measured in decibels relative to a stated scale.

Sound localization is a listeners ability to identify the location of origin of a detected sound or the methods in acoustical engineering to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a virtual 3D space (see binaural recording).
Sound pressure p (or acoustic pressure) is the measurement in pascals of the Root Mean Square (RMS) pressure deviation (from atmospheric pressure) caused by a sound wave passing through a fixed point.
Sound intensity level or acoustic intensity level is a logarithmic measure of the sound intensity in comparison to the reference level of 0 dB (decibels).

Sound spends most of it's time "flying" through the air but sound in a room keeps on running into the surfaces of the room.
Another part of the sound is conducted into the wood stud to which the wallboard is nailed or screwed.
This is because the sound you now hear is being conducted mainly from the wallboard of one room through the stud and into the wallboard of the next room.

 The Singer Approach to Noise Control and Sound Proofing
The most effective, economical, and flexible method of noise control and sound proofing is usually the the construction of a barrier (or enclosure) between the noise source and the receiver.

 Melamine Foam Sound Proofing for the Computer Case - TransmetaZone.com
My only two criteria for sound proofing the Antec case were that the sound absorbing material would have to be less than 3/4" thick, and not too expensive.
Some 'Melamine Foam Sound Absorbing Ceiling Tiles' I stumbled upon caught my eye because it had a listed NRC value of 0.95, (where 1.0 is the most sound absorbing you can get), was just 1/2" thick, and was reasonably priced for a good-sized sheet (see blue box at right for where to get this material).
Materials are tested in a sound lab at 200Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, and 2000Hz for their sound absorbing properties, and the average of all those results is the NRC number.

It is much easier to construct or modify a room to deaden sound than it is to make it totally sound-proof.
Sound travels in waves of vibration, and any vibration will transfer from one side of a wall to the other through anything that touches, including insulation.
As I said earlier, the main principle at play is simply that, wherever possible, you try to prevent sound waves from traveling into and out of the space through the air and surrounding structure.

Even a concrete block wall is not a very good sound barrier: Sound is very difficult to stop and solid rigid materials actually tend to vibrate themselves, producing sound on the other side.
As sound waves cause the Acoustiblok material to flex, internal friction occurs and the acoustical energy is dissipated into a very small trace amount of heat.
This is truly a vastly superior method to using massive solid materials for stopping sound transmission.
