Acoustifence On Berm Reduces Noise – TAMPA, Florida – Landscape professionals know that installing trees and vegetation on a berm can be aesthetically pleasing. But, they are not an effective noise barrier and installing them between roadway traffic and residences can actually increase noise.

Sound disperses in much the same way as light. It penetrates and reflects off the foliage in all directions, including the side that we want to be peaceful and quiet. Increasing the height of the berm will yield better sound deflection, but there are better ways to achieve this. Installing Acoustifence is less expensive and more efficient than increasing the height of the berm with more fill.

Add a six foot high structure to the berm and line it with Acoustifence. This drastically increases the berm’s blocking protection and eliminate the sound reflecting off the foliage. All of this helps to keep those outdoor spaces serene.

Acoustiblok, Inc. President Lahnie Johnson believes the application potential of Acoustifence to landscaping projects is endless.

“This simple and economical sound abatement product is extremely popular for new and existing landscape settings. It reduces noise from highways and allows for a better quality of life.”
