Sound Barriers

Sound barriers are structures designed to reduce noise travel between spaces, such as between a busy highway and nearby homes. They work by blocking, absorbing, or reflecting sound waves, preventing noise from reaching sensitive areas. Materials like concrete, metal, or specialized sound-absorbing panels are commonly used. The effectiveness depends on the barrier’s height, thickness, and material. By controlling noise pollution, sound barriers improve comfort and safety for communities near noisy environments, making urban and transportation areas more livable.
