The research investigates the impact of partial perforations on the Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) of bagasse-based panels, with perforation diameters of 1, 2, and 3 mm and depths of 25%, 50%, 75%. Acoustic performance was evaluated using an impedance tube across the frequency range of 200–1600 Hz. The results reveal that panels with 1 mm diameter perforations and 75% depth exhibited the highest SAC, reaching up 0.98 at 1500–1600 Hz. These findings underscore the potential of perforation geometry as a key factor in enhancing the acoustic efficiency of bio-composite materials. This study highlights the viability of optimizing perforation designs to develop sustainable, high-performance sound absorbers, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional acoustic materials. The outcomes contribute to advancing circular economy practices by utilizing agricultural waste for noise mitigation in urban environments. ## Keywords - Perforation - Noise reduction coefficient - Sound (geography) - Tube (container) - Electrical impedance - Absorption (acoustics) - Noise (video) - Materials science - Acoustics - Range (aeronautics) - Acoustic impedance - Agriculture - Attenuation coefficient - Structural engineering - Engineering - Noise control - Key (lock) - Finite element method --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
