An acoustic barrier is a soundproof structure designed to control the propagation of sound and reduce external noise.
By controlling acoustic energy through the absorption, reflection, and blocking of sound waves, it effectively reduces indoor and outdoor noise. It can adapt to different frequencies of sound based on various materials and structures, contributing to the improvement of the acoustic environment. Additionally, it offers durability and weather resistance, making it applicable to structures such as buildings and transportation infrastructure.
There are different types, including absorption-type using sound-absorbing materials, reflection-type utilizing walls or panels, and isolation-type incorporating soundproofing materials, each chosen based on specific applications. Acoustic barriers find applications in various locations such as residential areas, public facilities, transportation infrastructure, and factories, providing a quiet environment. It is crucial to consider the location and material selection during installation, as they can significantly impact the effectiveness of the acoustic barrier, and seek advice from professionals when needed.
