Environmental Noise Barriers

Environmental noise barriers are structures designed to reduce sound pollution, typically alongside highways, railways, or industrial areas. They can be made from materials like concrete, earth, or specially designed noise-absorbing panels. By blocking or reflecting noise away from residential areas, they help create a quieter environment, improving residents' quality of life. These barriers are strategically placed where noise levels are highest to minimize disturbances from traffic or machinery, making them crucial for urban planning and public health.
