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.

Residential noise ordinance in Carson City: supporting growth without disturbance

Carson City has a colourful and exciting history. But that is matched by the buzz that surrounds the city and its bright prospects in the present day. Since 1869 the city has served as Nevada’s capital city. For much of its history it was a hub for the Virginia and Truckee railroads, solidifying its reputation as a city representative of the wild west. Throughout the pandemic the city was lauded as the perfect destination for holidays, with a lower population density, wide open spaces and attractions for travellers of all ages.

As the city quickly consolidates its reputation as a popular vacation destination, it is expected that many new developments will begin to take shape. There are currently six major construction projects happening in the city, with a further 10 being approved and more under review. An influx of construction and infrastructure sites may turn an otherwise relaxed city into a capital suffering from noise pollution.

Here at Echo Barrier, we understand that the construction of a bright future shouldn’t mean compromising subjecting the local community to uncontained noise. That’s why we’ve developed our range of temporary sound barriers – the perfect solution for noise ordinance in Carson City.

Discover our market-leading acoustic barriers

Despite the increasing development and building work in Carson City, noise regulations still need to be followed. For businesses that create a lot of noise pollution such as construction and demolition sites, keeping noise under strict levels can be difficult. Echo Barrier’s temporary sound barriers are internationally endorsed and certified, making them the very best solution to this form of noise pollution.

Our barriers are market-leading and can be used across many business types from construction sites to railways to manufacturing plants. For companies that want to protect their operators and community from noise pollution, our patented acoustic technology is the perfect choice. Our barriers can reduce sound by up to 40dBs, while our outstanding noise reduction technology has been shown to absorb up to 99% of sound energy at certain frequencies.

Echo Barrier products are durable, high-performing and made of the highest quality materials. Our barriers are comprised of a front-facing outer layer, a waterproof breathable membrane and noise-absorbent composite. Beyond their outstanding acoustic and environmental benefits, our barriers provide many aesthetic benefits also. Barriers can be designed to carry corporate branding, or to blend in with locations for a low-visual effect.

Temporary acoustic sound barriers in Carson City

Our modular system is quick to deploy on any site from construction to transport to live events. Easy to transport and manoeuvre, Echo Barrier products readily fit onto scaffolding or fencing and can be quickly configured, combined and layered to create walls both vertically and laterally.

Our classic H-Series range is the most efficient, high-quality temporary sound barrier on the market. Developed by our expert team they are lightweight, durable and waterproof. Panels can survive even the toughest of weather conditions from wind to sun to downpours, and can be easily cleaned with a jet washer without fear of water being absorbed. Our H-Series range comes in five choices of sizes and added extras from fire-resistance to eco-optimisation, so your business can choose what meets your needs without worry.

We also offer a wide selection of specialist applications and acoustic enclosures. Like all our products, they’re designed for ease of deployment, durability and performance.
