Barriers to Block Highway Noise

How to Install a Noise Barrier

Sound insulation elements called barriers are used to prevent the noise from vehicles on highways, viaducts, and railway routes from reaching residential areas. For more information on this topic, you can visit the Safyayi website. Highway noise barriers cut off the noise caused by vehicles, preventing people living in residential areas from being negatively affected by this noise. For information on barrier types, you can visit the ilgltd.com.tr website.

Where are Highway Noise Barriers Applied?

Before highway noise barriers are installed, a series of tests and measurements, including sound measurements, must be carried out on the application site. As a result of these measurements and tests, the type of barrier to be used and the shape of these barriers are determined. Measurement factors such as the distance to the sound source and receiver, height, sound distribution, pressure, and reflection are effective in the design of the barriers. Technical details are considered in the application of the barrier to the highway. Highway barriers installed at an angle on both sides of the road significantly reduce noise. Barrier work should be carried out in areas located on highway, train station, metro and tram routes, and viaduct routes to prevent residential areas from being affected by this noise. Otherwise, due to the propagation, reflection, and pressure characteristics of sound, life in residential areas close to these routes can be paralyzed. Barriers developed to isolate all kinds of sound sources are applied after technical tests are performed.
