Actually, Stefan, what you need for absorption/trapping is a material that has lots of fibers (known as interstices) in a tight space, but still with air between them so the sound waves can "flow" between the fibers. Up to a point, the tighter the fibers the better the absorption. Beyond that point, the absorption gets worse.
Sand has virtually NO AIR between granules, so it acts more like solid material than absorbent. It would STOP sound if there were enough of it, but not TRAP sound... Steve
