Whether you're blocking sound from a generator, pool pump, outdoor venue, or construction site, our weather-resistant soundproofing materials are built to perform. From acoustic barriers and blankets to enclosures and mass loaded vinyl, we offer proven solutions to reduce noise in tough environments. Shop now to take control of outdoor sound.
By building a soundproof barrier fence or quiet box around a noise source, you can cut down on noise significantly. How much noise reduction will depend how much you've reduced sound that can come through the direct line of sight and how great the diffraction angle is that sound must now travel over or around. The keys are how much taller and wider the barrier is than the noise source, where the barrier is in regards to the noise source and the recipient, how much mass it has, and how airtight the construction is.
You also need to consider if there is sound reflecting outdoors. If so, adding charcoal BlocknZorbe or Quiet Quilt Outdoor Acoustic Blankets can help to absorb that sound and cut down on reverb.
How do you block noise from neighbors outside?
The same principles apply as when soundproofing a fence. The construction must be airtight, you must have mass, you must place the fence either close to them or close to you (not in between), and you must break line of sight.
How much noise is reduced with a sound barrier fence?
You can reduce up to 10 dB by breaking line of sight by multiple feet with airtight, heavy construction. Basically, when line of sight is broken, the higher the diffraction angle, the more sound reduction.
