Abstract This paper reports the utilisation of fibres from the pineapple leaf (PALF) to be an alternative natural acoustic material. We fabricated samples from raw pineapple leaf fibres with different densities and thicknesses to observe their effects on the sound absorption characteristic. Measurement was conducted for the normal incidence sound absorption coefficient in an impedance tube based on ISO 10534-2. It reveals that the pineapple leaf fibres can achieve sound absorption coefficient of 0.9 on average above 1 kHz by controlling the densities of the fibres and/or by introducing the air gap behind the samples. It is also demonstrated that the sound absorption performance is similar to that of the commercial rock wool fibres and synthetic polyurethane foam.
