How is acoustic foam the best sound insulation? Acoustic foam is the best sound insulator because of the rivets in the foam. What these rivets do is take the sound waves and minimize the bouncing of them. Normally what sound waves do is bounce off flat and curved objects back to the listener. How the acoustic foam minimizes the sound or "echo" the waves bounces on the acoustic foam and instead of bounce off the get absorbed by the rivets and the traditional two inches of foam thickness. (How Fast Does Sound Travel) Some places that acoustic foam is used is in music studios for recording soundtracks and voice overs, other places such as //anechoic chambers//. These chambers are designed with there one yard thick foam blocks to test the decibel level of products and to conduct experiments in total silence. Some of these chambers even clock in at a negative nine decibels. (Sound Science.com)

What is a decibel? A decibel is a form of measuring the loudness of something is.( DB: What Is a Decibel)
