The music industry and everyday architecture requires proper soundproofing, with most of the materials used being not sustainable. The utilization of paper fabrics for soundproofing applications has garnered significant attention due to their potential as biodegradable and eco-friendly alternatives in the field of acoustic insulation. This study analyzes three paper fabrics, aerogels, mycelium textiles, and bamboo fibers, and their potential use case in sound insulation and soundproofing. The study compared these fabrics to other non-sustainable materials used in soundproofing and compared different soundproofing measures to prove their efficacy in soundproofing. Despite their sustainability, paper fabrics face limitations for soundproofing due to their short lifespan and higher costs. To enhance their usage, thorough research is needed to improve longevity and performance. Creating foam-like products using paper fabrics, especially bamboo fiber due to its porosity and affordability, could be a strategic approach. Implementing these fabrics as wall-hanging devices instead of building insulation could provide an effective pathway for their sustainable use in soundproofing.
