Abstract
SoundBlockt is an innovative project that introduces a soundproofing solution utilising coconut fibre as the main material. The primary objective of this project is to address the issue of increasing coconut fibre waste while providing effective soundproofing capabilities. In Malaysia, a developing country with numerous housing areas located near construction sites and noisy environments such as factories, highways, and train stations, the need for soundproofing solutions is crucial. Coconut fibre, a readily available and sustainable material, is selected as the core component of SoundBlockt. By repurposing coconut fibre waste, this innovation project offers an eco-friendly solution that reduces waste accumulation and provides effective soundproofing properties. The use of coconut fibre as a soundproofing material presents a unique opportunity to tackle both environmental and noise pollution challenges simultaneously. The application of SoundBlockt is particularly beneficial for housing areas situated in close proximity to construction sites and noisy environments. The product acts as a barrier, effectively reducing external noise and creating a more peaceful living environment for residents. By implementing SoundBlockt, individuals residing in these areas can experience improved quality of life, enhanced comfort, and increased productivity. In conclusion, SoundBlockt offers an innovative soundproofing solution utilising coconut fibre waste. By incorporating this material, the project addresses the increasing issue of coconut fibre waste while providing effective noise reduction in housing areas near construction sites and noisy environments.
