As suburban cities are overcrowded, there is a surplus of noise pollution being produced. From yard work to cars, anyone can admit noise is prevalent in suburban spaces. Noise pollution can also disturb people while working on assignments often. The researcher goals are to produce sound dampeners for utilized machinery, i.e., leaf blowers. To reduce noise pollution, the researcher produced three-dimensional models to adhere to leaf blowers. These models were manufactured using a three-dimensional printer, PLA filament, and an online model of the design. Utilized machinery sound dampeners are what society needs due to demands of everyday life, for example, studying or performing tasks, to not be interrupted.
