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 99% of sound energy.

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.

Noise Ordinance Solutions, Arizona

Keeping the sound of progress in check with temporary sound barriers, Arizona

Arizona noise ordinance: intelligent sound management for the south west

The chances are that if you’re familiar with the state of Arizona one word will come to mind: hot. Famous for its deserts and hot climate, Arizona is the 6th largest state and one of the most populated – with many well-known cities such as Phoenix, Tucson and Glendale situated there. The state deserves credit for its unique landscapes, mountain ranges and world-famous natural wonder, the Grand Canyon. From breathtaking landscapes to vibrant cities, Arizona is definitely a state that can’t be forgotten. As the state grows and its cities become ever-more vibrant and lively, there is lots of opportunity for real estate developers, construction companies, hospitality venues and the business community at large. But as work progresses, it’s important to remember that future progress shouldn’t come at the expense of quality of life in the here and now.That’s why at Echo Barrier we are committed to helping combat the noise pollution that typically comes with new building work, heavy industry and large-scale manufacturing. Our sound barriers are the smart choice for those who want to not only succeed but also care for the local communities that would otherwise suffer increased volume..Our range of market-leading temporary acoustic barriers use the very latest technologies to help reduce sound pollution through versatile, easy-to-install panels that are as effective as they are hardwearing.

Arizona noise reduction solutions

Many new construction projects are starting to take shape in Arizona, from the state route 189 to the South Mountain Freeway (Arizona’s biggest construction project ever), transport links are only increasing. But for construction sites there are many noise regulations that businesses have to follow.

Getting to know the noise regulations in your area is the first step, and for companies that are serious about working with their communities, Echo Barrier can help. Our temporary acoustic barriers are internationally endorsed and recognised as the best choice for operators who want to comply with noise regulations without hampering progress.

Our sound barriers are lightweight, durable, waterproof and built for rapid deployment. Our modular systems are quick to deploy on any site, built to affix on scaffolding or fencing or to be left freestanding to create a wall when linked together. Our rapid deployment technology makes barriers easy to transport and manoeuvre, which is why we consider them to be the best Arizona noise reduction solution.

Our temporary sound barriers are high-performing, and high-quality. All barriers are made of a noise-absorbent composite, a waterproof breathable membrane and have a front-facing outer layer to achieve maximum noise mitigation. Barriers can be designed with corporate branding or to blend in with surroundings, so you can have the confidence that your sound reduction system is cost-effective, and inconspicuous.

Our H-Series products are extremely popular and are the very best in intelligent sound management. These products are weatherproof, so you can relax knowing your sound barriers can withstand wind, heat and the harshest of downpours. Barriers can withstand heat from minus 40 up to 70 degrees centigrade and can be easily jet washed without fear of water absorption.

Barriers typically last up to five times longer than conventional barriers and sound blankets, and in certain circumstances can have life spans of up to 10 years. Our H-Series products are unrivalled in their performance, and can be deployed across construction sites, railways and live events.

Alongside our H-Series products, we also offer a wide range of specialist applications and sound enclosures. Our specialist applications create effective solutions for even the most challenging locations and circumstances. Specialist products include extra-fire resistant panels and extra sound-absorbent panels for locations where noise reduction can be particularly difficult.
