Advantages of Sound Barriers in Construction
Acoustic fence panels give construction companies a smarter way to manage noise on active sites. Crews can stack or link them into full enclosures, creating targeted sound control around equipment like hydraulic hammers and demolition tools. This approach helps projects comply with noise regulations, protect worker health, and maintain positive community relations while work continues as planned. Shop Echo Barrier sound barriers at SONCO along with temporary fencing, and safety signage to keep your site safe, compliant, and efficient.
Acoustic Fence FAQs
1. How much noise reduction can I expect?
A: Under lab conditions, H9 panels are rated to provide up to 43dB of noise reduction and H10 panels up to about 43.4dB. Real-world performance depends on layout, leaks, distance, and noise source.
2. Are these acoustic panels fire and weather resistant?
A: Yes. H9 and H10 are tested to ASTM E84 and BS 7837 for fire-resistance, and feature superior weather-resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use. The H10 also carries IPX6/IPX9 water-resistance ratings.
3. What’s the difference between H9 and H10?
A: H10 is engineered for the most demanding environments and achieves the highest lab-tested reduction with a reinforced backing layer for durability. H9 delivers excellent attenuation in a lighter panel that’s easy to handle and redeploy.
4. Are these sound barriers reusable across projects?
A: Yes. Panels are built for repeated use, roll up for transport and storage, and are designed to withstand harsh site conditions.
5. Do acoustic fences help with compliance?
A: They’re a practical way to reduce off-site noise and help projects align with local noise ordinances and community agreements. Always check and confirm requirements for your local jurisdiction.
6. How do I know if I need sound barriers for my project?
A: If your project involves noisy equipment, is located near homes, hotels, hospitals, offices, or public spaces, or must comply with strict local noise regulations, sound barriers can help. The best way to determine if Echo Barrier panels are the right fit is to speak with a SONCO expert. Our team can review your project details and recommend the most effective setup for your needs.
