What is sound absorption?

Sound absorption is when the sound strike the absorbent object and reflect, but the energy of reflection is reduce significantly.

The reduction factor could be from 1% (not effective) to 100% (very effective).

Materials like foams, cloths, soft tissue, pores like walls / material are capable of absorbing sound.

Other items that may absorb sound is a bass trap, which is a very large box depending on dimension and frequency.
