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.

Temporary Sound Barriers, Virginia

Quick and easy noise reduction in Virginia using Echo Barrier technology

Outdoor sound barriers, Virginia

Virginia is considered one of the top states to live in the USA currently, thanks to its booming job market and thriving economy. Many of the cities within the state are seeing substantial growth and are building towards a bright future – from Virginia Beach to Chesapeake to Richmond.

Inevitably, new development work brings with it disruption and upheaval. From housing projects to roadworks, utilities projects to new amenities, it's natural to see an increase in construction projects. And this brings with it noise pollution and sound disturbance.

But thanks to Echo Barrier's award-winning noise reduction solutions, progress doesn’t have to be accompanied by the unbearable sound of drilling, hammering and heavy vehicles. As the market leaders in this space, we have a proven track record for combatting noise pollution through our patented acoustic barriers.

Progress all over the state of Virginia should not hinder the lives of people, and our high-quality acoustic barriers are the top choice for ensuring that doesn't happen.

Temporary acoustic barriers Virginia

It's true that, with noise levels on the rise all over the state of Virginia, there is a need for advanced noise regulation systems that can prevent development work from becoming a permanent headache. In the USA alone there are tens of millions of people exposed to construction noise every day, which, according to the World Health Organisation, can lead to higher risk of cardiovascular diseases and stress.

At Echo Barrier our sound barriers serve to absorb soundwaves, protect local communities and reduce the noise pollution that would otherwise impact on quality of life and wellbeing. Testing has shown that noise can be reduced by up to 42dB and that at certain frequencies our acoustic barriers can reduce soundwaves by up to 99%. All of our products are manufactured to the highest standards using recyclable materials and no hazardous substances. In addition, our buy-back scheme means that panels don’t have to be single-use items and can be repurposed again and again.

Our products can be used on a large array of projects and are made to be easy on the eyes. Echo Barrier truly is the leading solution when it comes to cost-effective noise reduction.

Exterior sound barriers for construction and not only

Echo Barrier’s sound-proofing technology can be used for many different types of projects, including but not limited to rail and roadwork, demolition sites, utilities and events. No matter the scale of your project, our flexible sound wall barriers, Virginia, will help minimise the damaging effects of heavy machinery and power tool noise on people living in the area.

The manufacturing process has high durability in mind, meaning our products are able to last well over 10 years. This is up to five times longer than competitor products.

The state of Virginia is known to go from hot, humid summers to harsh winters, which usually means outdoors exposure can damage building site equipment and fixtures. However, our acoustic barriers are designed to be fully waterproof and weatherproof, making sure they can withstand even Virginia's harshest winters.

You can wash these durable sound-proofing barriers through power washing without worrying about damaging them - they can even withstand extreme temperatures varying between -40° F and 158° F. Because of their high durability but also flexibility, Echo Barrier’s portable sound barriers, Virginia, can be transported with ease and installed anywhere – so you can make sure they will do the job no matter what your needs are.
