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.

1. Front facing outer layer

We use super-durable, waterproof PVC, ensuring the best possible noise reduction without sacrificing appearance.

2. Noise-absorbent composite

Highest grade, acoustic absorbent made from recycled materials prevents noise from reflecting off the barrier (bio-degradable).

3. Waterproof breathable membrane

Absorbs sound, not water.

Designed with ease
of use in mind

Easy hook

Install in seconds without the need for permanent fixings

Reflective Strips

For extra visibility at night

High temperature in direct sunlight

UV resistant (5 years). Temperature resistant from -40° F to 158° F.

Mesh faces sound source

Always place the barrier with the black (mesh) side facing the source of the noise.

Do not use cutting tools

No sharp cutting tools to be used when unpacking barriers.

Frost resistant BSEN 60068/2/1:2007

Frost resistant from -40° F.

Water resistant BSEN 60529:1992

Fully water resistant, tested to IPX6/9.

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.

Temporary sound barriers in Los Angeles – a city worth listening to

Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world, home to Venice Beach, Hollywood Boulevard and so much more. In 2018 travel and tourism contributed an all-time high of almost $40 billion to the economy. And that figure is only set to grow in the future.

Los Angeles is one of the jewels in the American crown and it’s a place that has seen growth and improvements aplenty over recent decades. Construction work, new building projects and infrastructure improvements are an important part of that growth, and so finding a way to keep productivity high but noise disruption low is of great importance.

At Echo Barrier our acoustic barriers represent the perfect solution to that challenge – ensuring that noise ordinance issues don’t ever need to hamper progress.

Los Angeles noise reduction solutions

Almost four million people live in the city of LA, which means that noise ordinance can sometimes be difficult to manage. Putting up with unreasonably loud noise shouldn’t be the normal, that’s why noise reduction technologies are critical within any modern city.

In California, there are important regulations in place to protect residents from excessive noise, with activities such as construction being restricted to certain hours of the day. Despite this, residential noise ordinance in Los Angeles continues to be a problem. And that’s where our temporary acoustic barriers can help.

For businesses seeking to reduce their noise pollution, temporary acoustic barriers are the perfect answer to an ongoing problem. Sound barriers are constructed of multiple layers: the outer layers are made of an acoustically transparent material (meaning that sound waves pass through the outer layer) while the inner layers are denser and serve to absorb the sound waves.

Acoustic barriers are the perfect solution for companies and venues across construction, transport and entertainment. With over a million noise complaints in Los Angeles in 2021, investing in high-quality, effective sound proofing measures is necessary for almost every project.

Our acoustic barriers are market-leading

At Echo Barrier we understand that when it comes to balancing productivity with a positive reputation in the community, effective and high-quality noise reduction solutions are essential.

Internationally endorsed and certified, Echo Barrier’s temporary sound barriers are the perfect choice for companies that prioritise sustainability and quality. Barriers are weather proof, designed for rapid deployment and built to last, so your company can continue its activities without worrying about noise pollution.

Temporary sound barriers in Los Angeles are a valuable technology that can be used across construction, railways, live events and demolition. Barriers are weatherproof and can withstand temperatures from -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Our acoustic panels are also hardwearing and fire resistant.

Like all of Echo Barrier’s products, the specialist panel range is designed for optimum noise reduction and ease of deployment.
