We study the dissipation of small-scale adiabatic perturbations at early times when the Universe is hotter than T similar or equal to 0.5 keV. When the wavelength falls below the damping scale k(D)(-1), the acoustic modes diffuse and thermalize, causing entropy production. Before neutrino decoupling, k(D) is primarily set by the neutrino shear viscosity, and we study the effect of acoustic damping on the relic neutrino number, primordial nucleosynthesis, dark-matter freeze-out, and baryogenesis. This sets a new limit on the amplitude of primordial fluctuations of Delta(2)(R) < 0.007 at 10(4) Mpc(-1) less than or similar to k less than or similar to 10(5) Mpc(-1) and a model-dependent limit of Delta(2)(R) less than or similar to 0.3 at k less than or similar to 10(20-25) Mpc(-1).
