Sonic crystal sound barriers

Cost effective, less intrusive noise reduction for busy transport links and machinery.

Allows light and air to permeate, facilitates drainage, uses typically less than half the material of a solid barrier.

The barriers are comprised of a series of cylinders, precisely arranged to most effectively absorb the frequency of soundwaves in a specific environment.

The barriers can be constructed from a wide variety of materials, without compromising performance.

An estimated 40% of the population in Europe is exposed to potentially hazardous noise levels
