Exceptional Noise Reduction and Dispersion with Knitted Wire Mesh Knitted wire mesh has the ability to absorb high-energy sound. When this sound energy hits a mesh element, the sound energy is absorbed into the wire structure making the wire vibrate and thus absorbing harmful sound energy. In fact, the open space in a mesh part can be controlled within a range of 30% to 97%. These two features are extremely important in noise reduction, since the extent of surface area and air flow resistance are both critical factors
