Shapes & Designs Of Noise Barrier

Delnoise has explained about the shapes and designs of noise barriers and details. There are many shapes & designs of noise barriers. You can get more details about the noise barrier to contact our noise barrier experts.

Acoustics Design Of Noise Barrier

  • Height of the barrier
  • Shape and design of the barrier

Height of the barrier

  • When designing the noise barrier, height is one of the most important criteria to be considered as it performs the major task of noise reduction, in theory, more the height efficiently the noise reduction,
  • But The European QUESTIM survey results indicate that a wide range of barrier heights are used across the various road networks,
  • In terms of the minimum permissible height, ranges from 1.0 m to 2.5 m.
  • However, the variation is more dramatic when considering the maximum permissible height, with a range from 4 m to 10 m or greater.
  • In terms of the most common barrier height, the survey results suggest that barriers are typically between 2 and 5 m high.

As a rule of thumb, the barrier height should be 2.5 times the distance from the closest source of the sound.

Shapes & Designs of Noise Barrier

The shape and design of the noise barrier play a major role similar to the height.

Where else the STRAIGHT, MUSHROOM, ANGLED & INVERTED – L are the widely used noise barriers.

Conclusion

In a blog, noise barriers are specified by acoustical engineers and their final design, and construction should be verified to validate their performances.
