SAB stands for which?

• A. Mass-Loaded Vinyl
• B. Sound Absorption Coefficient
• C. Sound Absorption Batts
• D. Transmission Loss

Answer: (C)

Identifying an acoustical product abbreviation used for interior sound treatment. SAB represents Sound Absorption Batts, a form of insulation designed to absorb sound energy rather than block it. They’re installed in walls, ceilings, or ductwork to reduce reflections and control reverberation, improving room clarity. The other terms refer to different ideas: Mass-Loaded Vinyl is a dense barrier used to block sound transmission; Sound Absorption Coefficient is a measurement of how much sound a material absorbs; Transmission Loss describes how much sound is attenuated when crossing a partition. In practice, Sound Absorption Batts is the product category you’d look for when you want to dampen sound by absorption.
