The invention discloses a sound-absorbing material particle and a preparation method thereof. The method for preparing the sound-absorbing material particle comprises: mixing a sound-absorbing raw material with a solvent to form a sound-absorbing slurry; filling the sound-absorbing slurry into a mechanical compression die, and performing compression molding on the sound-absorbing slurry to form a particle; performing a hydrothermal crystallization reaction on the particle to crystallize the sound-absorbing raw material in the particle; and drying the particle to produce the sound-absorbing material particle.

Provision of a manufacturing apparatus that can perform steps including a kneading step to a granulating step in one apparatus, can achieve a reduced size of the apparatus as a whole, and can reduce the variation in the diameter of kneaded granules. A manufacturing apparatus comprises: a kneading section feeding a kneaded material to a downstream side in the carrying direction while kneading a raw material; a granulating section performing granulation from the kneaded material generated in the kneading section.
