AB The sustainable management of waste from agricultural crops represents an urgent challenge.One possible solution considers waste as possible secondary raw materials for specific uses.Among these, the use of agricultural waste as a product for the assembly of panels for the sound absorptionof living environments represents a particularly suitable solution. In this study, the acousticproperties of the cocoa pod husk were evaluated, using silicone as a binder. Different proportions ofmaterials and thicknesses were evaluated. A Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based model with aGaussian kernel was then used to predict the acoustic performance of composite materials. The resultsobtained suggest the adoption of this material for the acoustic correction of living environments andthis methodology for the prediction of the acoustic behavior of materials.
