Acoustic Barrier Technology

Acoustic technology,
award winning science

Echo Barrier’s award-winning products are the result of our rigorous application of science and technology. Our products are the highest quality on the market, and deliver unmatched noise reduction at a great value.

Our modular acoustic barriers are designed to be quick and easy to deploy, while still delivering the best noise absorption you will find.

Outstanding performance

Echo Barrier products undergo thorough laboratory and field testing, to ensure that you get the best possible performance every time you use them.

Echo Barrior products are unrivalled at reducing sound pollution, but are light enough for one person to install them. Despite being thinner and lighter than our competitors’ products, our barriers are more effective.

Our products excel in the six areas most essential for noise reduction products:

Echo Barrier products are made with a special high-tech composite material that absorbs noise and suppresses noise reflection. At frequencies of 300Hz-1khz, it absorbs up to 100% of sound.

Echo Barrier products are unrivalled at reducing sound pollution but are light enough for one person to install. Despite being thinner and lighter than our competitors’ products, our barriers are more effective.

Echo Barrier products are fully waterproof to industry standards, IPx 6/9. They are effective in heavy rain and can be jet-washed.

Traditional acoustic blankets and noise barriers are often made of water-absorbent materials (such as fibreglass and Rockwool). When these materials get waterlogged, they weigh the barriers down and cut their noise reduction in half.

Extensive testing has proved that Echo Barrier's products provide unrivalled noise attenuation in the field. Laboratory tests have shown that our barriers reduce noise by up to 40dB. Even though our barriers are 50% lighter than conventional acoustic barriers, they are more effective. Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are perfectly balanced in size and weight. They easily be linked and reconfigured to customize your barriers to for your work environment.

Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are easy to move, deploy, and reconfigure for any situations.
If you need to create an acoustic wall or curtain, you can link the barriers vertically or horizontally. If you need extra noise reduction, they can be doubled up easily.
Echo Barrier's acoustic products can be positioned and modified to to meet your needs in almost any situation.

The geometry of noise mitigation concerns the relative positions of:
* i) any barrier;
* ii) the source of noise it is intended to mitigate;
* iii) the noise receiver (in this case, the human ear).

The closer the barrier is placed to the noise source -making its "acoustic shadow" larger- the greater the noise attenuation. A barrier can also reduce more sound if it is made taller, or by using fence extentions

As Echo Barrier products are lightweight and portable, they can be moved to cast the optimum acoustic shadow, and maintain the perfect site geometry as the project progresses.

The critical range in noise control is 300Hz-1000Hz. A noise control barrier must absorb as much sound as possible over this range if it is to be considered effective. Tested in the field, our barriers average a remarkable 77% efficiency over the crucial range. Considering our products are half the thickness and much lighter in weight than alternatives our competitive advantage becomes clear.

All Echo Barriers are designed with the end user in mind, they are easy to store, transport and install making for maximum site efficiency

What makes our acoustic barriers so effective?

The best way to understand how our temporary noise control barriers deliver market-leading performance at minimum weight is to take a look inside.

Rigorous testing

There are two key measurements to consider when testing an acoustic barrier’s performance:

  • Transmission loss: The decrease in noise level (measured in decibels) that results when sound passes through a solid barrier;
  • Efficiency: The ability of a barrier to prevent sound reflection and its consequent increase in noise.


By concentrating on one of these measures it is relatively easy for some barriers to perform well in the lab alone, but it is performance in the field that is vital.

Both in the lab and on worksites, Echo Barrier’s products achieve world-leading performance for both transmission loss and efficiency of sound absorption.

In some circumstances, Echo Barrier’s products perform better in the field than in a lab. The chart below shows the results of independent tests using a diesel-powered trenchless excavation drill.

When compared with their performance in the laboratory, Echo Barrier panels deployed on-site achieved an additional 5 dB in noise reduction at certain frequencies.

Noise control in Boston: containing sound in a historic city

Boston is perhaps one of the most famous cities in the United States. It’s a city of firsts: constructing the first public park, first public school and the nation’s first subway system. Alongside the famous Boston Tea Party exhibits, there are also many other cultural attractions such as the Museum of Fine Art. The city is also home to many of the world’s most prestigious universities and colleges, which sees thousands of students coming into the city each year to learn.

As a city in demand, Boston sees many new developments and construction projects each year. And, inevitably, these construction and demolition sites generate significant volumes of unwanted noise pollution and disturbance.

There are also noise regulations to contend with, designed to ensure that construction work, utilities projects and live events don’t cause noise ordinance issues. That’s where Echo Barrier comes in. Our market-leading barriers are the very best in acoustic sound reduction, significantly reducing noise disturbance and providing a cost-effective and versatile solution for any project.

Temporary sound barriers in Boston

Despite noise regulations being in force across the city, many residents may worry about noise control in Boston. For sites such as construction and demolition, creating this noise is unavoidable. As such, containing the sound is the best solution. Temporary acoustic barriers absorb and reflect the noise created, so residents and businesses can continue their lives as normal.

As the very best temporary sound barrier solutions available, Echo Barriers are internationally endorsed and certified. Our barriers can reduce some sound frequencies by up to 99% and utilise market-leading patented acoustic technology, so you can go undertake any project with confidence, safe in the knowledge that your noise ordinance is taken care of.

Our temporary acoustic barriers are lightweight, durable and designed for ease of deployment. Our use of the very best materials and advanced manufacturing processes provide you with a cost-efficient, sustainable and intelligent noise mitigation strategy. Barriers can be used across a wide range of locations and circumstances, from construction to demolition sites, railways to live events.

Noise reduction solutions in Boston

Echo Barrier specialises in combining world-leading acoustic technology. We combine a noise absorbent composite, a waterproof breathable membrane and a front-facing outer layer that can be customised to blend in with the surroundings for a low-visual impact or with corporate image branding for a professional look.

Our barriers on average last five times longer than conventional sound barriers and in certain circumstances can last up to ten years. No hazardous or dangerous materials are used in our manufacturing process, so you can be sure that you’re protecting your operatives and community whilst also protecting the environment.

We carry a wide range of products including our H-Series and specialist applications ranges. Barriers can be readily applied onto scaffolding and fencing or can be linked together and left freestanding both vertically and laterally to create acoustic walls. What’s more, our products are extremely lightweight and can be transported, manoeuvred and reconfigured by a single operator.

Echo Barriers are both waterproof and fire-resistant, so regardless of the weather or heat you can be sure that they’ll work to the very best performance possible. Our specialist applications range features extra fire-resistant panels and noise-absorbent composites to combat sound pollution regardless of challenges.
