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.

Keeping the sound of progress in check with portable sound barriers, Illinois
Outdoor sound barriers, Illinois
Illinois is most well-known for its role and contributions to the American automotive industry and the Underground Railroad. It is a state with a highly diverse economy that is constantly developing – not only in its largest city of Chicago but all the small industrial towns spread across the state.
With an increase in construction projects across the state, noise pollution is always a danger in Illinois, so in order to keep work progressing without causing unwarranted disturbance, intelligent noise solutions are required.
At Echo Barrier, we have developed a versatile and durable range of acoustic barriers for exactly this purpose – reducing noise pollution and helping businesses coexist with local communities in line with noise regulations. After all, shaping a bright future should never mean sacrificing quality of life in the short term.

Portable sound barriers all across the state of Illinois
With more than 12 million people living in the state of Illinois, noise disturbance is inevitable. From railwork to roads, utilities projects to real estate developments, there’s always work that uses heavy machinery and generates significant noise.
But at Echo Barrier we can help to negate the disruption caused through our advanced acoustic barriers – award winning solutions that absorb noise and reduce soundwaves by up to 99% at certain frequencies.
Our most popular product collection is our H-Series – comprised of lightweight but highly effective temporary sound barriers. Easily transportable and suitable in almost any configuration the H-series can be fixed onto fencing, scaffolding or linked together and left freestanding to create walls.
Our acoustic barriers are both fire resistant and waterproof, making them resilient in even the toughest conditions. In fact, they are proven to last up to five times longer than conventional barriers in certain environments and have been shown to remain effective for up to ten years.
Not only that but the waterproofing and weatherproofing technology in our panels ensures that they are hardwearing in even the most challenging of climates. Echo Barriers have been tested and proven at temperatures ranging from -40° F to 158° F – perfect in a place like Illinois where weather fluctuates a lot throughout the year.
We strive to provide people with a sustainable noise reduction technology, by using recycled materials and non-hazardous substances in our products. Products are also designed to have low visual impact and even carry corporate branding – great for public relations exercises or even at live events, where our noise management systems help organisers maintain their responsibility to the local community.
Living in Illinois: Sound wall barriers for any construction project
In a state like Illinois that is constantly expanding and changing, our temporary acoustic barriers have a critical role to play in keeping the peace. Our award-winning technology serves to absorb noise at a wide range of frequencies, including but not limited to power tools, large vehicles, heavy machinery, and masonry.
With our sound barriers, noise of many ranges can get reduced even up to 42dB, which makes a noticeable difference to people’s lives. There is no doubt that we are leaders in the market in terms of durability and versatility of our sound-proofing barrier technology – outlasting competition by up to five times.
