Hi,
First thank you in advance for reading and answering my question. I am very much a newbie when it comes to physics, so while I feel my question in pretty straight forward I'm sure it's more complex than my thinking.
OK so here it is... Does the texture of two surfaces change the decibel level of sound emitted when colliding the two together?
Example: You have two pieces of rubber or plywood, one has a completely flat surface and the other has grooves in the surface that extend out to its edges. If you were to collide one flat surface onto the grooved surface of the other with equal distribution, would this combination produce less, more, or an equal amount of noise than if the two surfaces were flat? ... and why?
Thank you very much!
