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 temporary sound barriers, Illinois
Noise control in Illinois: keeping progression on track in a sleepy state
Illinois is perhaps one of the most diverse and intriguing of US states. Home to big cities, attractive towns, colleges, farmlands and wetlands, the “Prairie State” is a melting pot of different communities. Many are choosing to move Illinois due to lower average bills, healthcare costs and housing prices. The state is also home to Chicago, commonly referenced as the epicentre of culture in the Midwest.
The state’s growth presents businesses and house-hunters with lots of opportunities, of course. And this means that real estate developers, contractors and local government are responding through the launch of exciting new building projects. Illinois is already the largest state in the Midwest for infrastructure and commerce projects and, as a result, all types of innovative projects – such as mega-developments 78 and Lincoln yard.
Whilst this growth is positive, having construction and infrastructure sites can lead to disturbances and noise pollutions. That’s why at Echo Barrier we have developed our market-leading temporary sound barriers, offering the perfect solution to unwanted noise disturbances and avoiding noise ordinance issues.

Residential noise control in Illinois
Illinois is one of the country’s most populated states, being home to over twelve million people. With so many residents, it is inevitable that there are many noise regulations that companies must follow. For construction, transport and demolition industries, it can be difficult to keep noise within strict conditions.
But at Echo Barrier we work work with operators that care about protecting its employees and community from noise pollution. Our intelligent noise management solutions substantially reduce disturbance, have a low visual impact and enable industry and community to coexist in peace.
Our award-winning acoustic technology is the key to intelligent, cost-effective, high-performing noise management. Our temporary sound barriers are lightweight, durable, weatherproof and the very best in acoustic performance. We carry a variety of products, from our classic H-Series range to more specialist applications.
Echo Barriers are built to be used across a broad range of business types, from construction to demolition, railworks to live events. Our barriers are comprised of a customisable front-facing outer layer, a waterproof breathable membrane and a noise-absorbent composite, capable of reducing sound waves by up to 99%. At the heart of our products is a high-tech composite which cushions soundwaves and absorbs noise. This vastly outperforms conventional noise-absorbing materials when it comes to low frequencies.
Noise control in Illinois
Our H-Series is our most popular product collection. As the most robust, effective and lightweight temporary sound barriers on the market, they are easily transportable and can be reconfigured to almost any setting. Their rapid deploy technology makes them suitable to fix onto fencing, scaffolding or linked together and left freestanding to create walls.
Both fire and water-resistant, our acoustic barriers can withstand 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.
Alongside our popular H-Series we also offer acoustic enclosures and other specialist applications to combat noise pollution in even the toughest of circumstances. Specialised ranges include extra fire-resistant barriers and extra-absorbent noise panels designed to be used in conjunction with pedestrian barriers. Our specialist ranges provide effective noise management solutions for even the most inhospitable conditions.
