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:
The best way to understand how our temporary noise control barriers deliver market-leading performance at minimum weight is to take a look inside.
There are two key measurements to consider when testing an acoustic barrier’s performance:
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.

Chicago noise reduction solutions: containing sound in a vibrant, bustling city
Chicago is truly one of the gems of the North East of America. It’s no secret that the Windy City is a hub of energy and excitement. After all, it has been voted the best big city for the last five years. From the first skyscraper that rose following the great fire of 1871, the city has made a name for itself alongside other big cities such as Los Angeles and New York.
From stunning architecture to sports to a diverse history that keeps the city buzzing today, Chicago truly is a leading city. But with that growth and new development there inevitably comes construction sites and infrastructure projects – which means noise and the potential to create a disturbance.
At Echo Barrier we understand that constructing a bright future should never mean sacrificing quality of life in the present – especially when it comes to noise pollution. That’s why our acoustic barriers and noise reduction solutions are crucial for noise control in Chicago.
