The comparative analysis of a sound by sound absorption (SSA) is given at different frequency relations between a signal and pump waves. It is shown, what the extreme display of SSA effect has a place at a pump wave frequency fp twice greater than a signal frequency fs, which corresponds to degenerate three-wave interaction. The "resonant" character of frequency and phase dependence of SSA in a degenerate case is marked. It is offered to distinguish SSA at fp/fs=2 and interference signal wave suppression at fp/fs=0.5, which is caused by process antiphase generation on a signal frequency. The monotonic character of spatial decrease of signal wave amplitude is characteristic for a case SSA. The quantitative assessment SSA, and its comparison with a nonlinear self-absorption is given. The results of experimental examinations confirming regularities of SSA obtained from Burgers equation are given. Is shown, that in a beam the signal absorption in a near-field zone has oscillating, and in a far-field - monotonic character. Simultaneously there is a change of an interference pattern of a field and isotropization of an angular distribution of signal wave amplitude. The problems of practical use SSA are considered.
