This review was conducted to study various composite materials and their analysis techniques. A composite material
is composed of at least two materials, which combine to give properties superior to those of the individual constituents. Industrial waste and agricultural waste disposal has become a serious problem. Some researchers showed their interest to reuse these waste materials and making the composite materials from waste. Most of the composite materials are used in sound isolation and noise reduction. The aim of this paper is to give an overall literature review on the work done related to composite materials and their analysis techniques. The major issues faced by the industry, domestic uses and environment because the waste materials developed pollution and it is hazardous to human health and environment. So it is need of time to develop alternative solutions for this problem by making the composite materials. The main intention behind the study was to focus on the development of cost-effective, efficient to meet the properties with original materials and environmentally-friendly materials. Therefore, it is very much essential to review on the researcher studies to achieve at the best composite material and analysis techniques for future composite materials.

Keywords: Recycled rubber, Natural fibers, Noise reduction materials, two microphone method.
