noise barriers
Roadside acoustic shields
Noise barriers are walls or fences built along highways, railways, or other loud areas to block sound from reaching nearby homes and businesses.
They're typically made of concrete, metal, or composite materials and work by reflecting or absorbing sound waves.
The city installed noise barriers along the interstate after residents complained.
