Silver is best followed by copper then gold then aluminum.
The airborne sound transmission loss was measured according to astm e90 and the light impact sound insulation was measured according to astm e492.

Sound or noise transmitted from the inside of a duct to the surrounding room can be expressed as.
The minimum sheet resistance will have an effect on the transmission line loss which you can read about on this page.
The overall loss of most transmission lines is dominated by the metal loss at microwave frequencies.
At dc you can achieve nearly zero sheet resistance because the skin depth is infinite.
A tabulation of transmission loss for common materials is included in the appendix to this section from table 8 1 ref bies and hansen.
16 ga sheet metal will also flex somewhat at low frequencies providing a degree of sound damping.
Acoustical laboratory tests show that in similar sizes and shapes our double wall duct and fittings can.
16 ga sheet metal can be lock formed eliminating the need for welds.
Individual panels shall be two 2 feet high or one and a half 1 5 feet high x five 5 inches thick x up to twenty 20 feet in length.

Transmission loss tl in duct acoustics together with insertion loss il describes the acoustic performances of a muffler like system it is frequently used in the industry areas such as muffler manufacturers and nvh noise vibration and harshness department of automobile manufacturers.
Generally the higher transmission loss of a system it has the better it will perform in terms of noise.

But to get truly zero sheet resistance you d need infinite metal thickness.
A perfectly reflecting material has a transmission coefficient of 0 stl while the transmission coefficient of an opening is 1 0 iincident ireflected itransmitted figure 2.

16 ga galvanized steel has twice the mass of standard 22 ga sheet metal and therefore has a higher sound transmission loss.
Metal loss varies predominantly as sqrt f.
High sound transmission loss noise traveling along a duct path can radiate through the walls of the duct and fittings.
Sheet metal duct walls have higher sound transmission loss than lightweight duct materials such as fiberglass duct board and flexible duct.
