The invention relates to a sound protection screen with an external shell made of a moulded thermoplastic material, an internal sub-layer based on resiliently compressible moulded polyurethane foam. The sub-layer is over-moulded with the rear side of the external shell. by over-moulding The shell is based on a sheet of thermoformed thermoplastic material and has a thickness between 0.2 and 1 mm. The shell can be a two-layered shell, with an external layer based on polyolefin. The external layer having at the side of the sub-layer, in order to allow adhesion between the shell and the sub-layer, with a rear layer based on a thermoplastic material that adheres to the foam. The shell can also be a single layer based on polyolefin, the rear side being subjected to a surface treatment that allows the adhesion to the sub-layer to be improved.

An acoustic insulation structure for a power train according to the present disclosure is provided with a cover member that covers at least an internal combustion engine of the power train including the internal combustion engine, and that includes a pool portion in which water that has entered into the inside of the cover member pools; and a water-absorption member arranged at the inside of the cover member. The cover member includes a moisture outlet that releases, into the atmospheric air, moisture present inside the cover member. The water-absorption member extends to the moisture outlet from the pool portion.

An acoustic insulation system for an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle includes: an acoustic insulation cover configured to cover the internal combustion engine with a gap interposed between the acoustic insulation cover and the internal combustion engine. The acoustic insulation cover includes a cover front portion that faces forward of the vehicle. The cover front portion includes: a plurality of inlets for introducing the outside air into the interior of the acoustic insulation cover; and a plurality of inlet flaps configured to respectively open and close the plurality of inlets. The acoustic insulation system further includes a control device configured to control the opening and closing of the plurality of inlet flaps.

Devices for superscattering a plate bending wave include a solid plate, and a circular array of spring-mass resonators positioned on a surface of the plate. All resonators in the circular array have a resonance frequency that can be matched to a frequency of a target flexural wave. The circular array has a diameter that can further be matched to the wavelength of the target flexural wave. Scattering efficiencies can exceed several multiples of the theoretical limit.
