Zusammenfassung:Device (30) for reducing underwater sound energy and propagation, whereby the device (30) comprises at least one bubble generation unit (32) and an air conduit (31) for supplying pressurized air to the bubble generation unit (32), whereby the bubble generation unit (32) comprises an oscillator (1a, 1b, 1c) for generating one or more pulsating air flows from a constant air flow, and whereby preferably the oscillator (1b, 1c) has an adjustable oscillation frequency, and the use of such a device (30) for reducing underwater sound propagation, whereby the air conduit (31) and the bubble generation unit (32) are placed underwater, whereby pressurized air is supplied to the air conduit (31) and whereby air bubbles (40) are generated by the bubble generation unit (32).
