How Does A Noise Barrier Work?

Noise barrier walls physically reduce noise by absorbing or reflecting it; or by forcing it to take a roundabout path that causes it to dissipate. The sound is a type of energy that grows stronger as they travel away from their point of origin. Vehicles on a road generate sound waves — mostly from the sticking and peeling off of rubber tires on pavement — that travel in all directions. When the waves arrive at a barrier or obstacle, they either are absorbed or bounce off.

Reflective noise barriers — which causes sound waves to bounce off in a different direction — are one of the most effective methods for blocking noise. Reflective walls of solid concrete that create a barrier and push sound away from homes or other areas being shielded.

As clearly defined by the Federal Highway Administration, a noise barrier can achieve a 5 dB noise level reduction when it is tall enough to break the line-of-sight from the highway to the receiver, such as a home or person. After it breaks the line-of-sight, it can achieve approximately 1.5dB of additional noise level reduction for each meter of barrier height.
