In a bid to combat escalating traffic noise pollution, a novel study presents a semianalytical meshless method to optimize the acoustic performance of sound barriers.

Hushtec’s acoustic fencing for construction is made from lightweight, fire-rated materials that can be rapidly deployed by site crews. The panels are designed for multiple installations and can be ...

Noise pollution can be reduced with the help of structural solutions; we've all seen noise barriers along busy roads and train lines, and there are special acoustic structural components, so ...

Miami-Dade County expects Metrorail to get its first new acoustic barriers in May. Walls came down during emergency 2019 repairs, creating noise for residents.

Acoustic action The idea of acoustics as a way to actuate systems is known in HVAC systems and also ambient noise canceling. But the capabilities are way beyond what product manufacturers use today.

Each of the semi-transparent acoustic screens is 5 meters (16.4 ft) wide and 4.5 meters (14.7 ft) high, and while two barriers of this size might not generate that much energy, the researchers say ...
