Noise Reduction Performance of StackWaII Precast Concrete Walls
Excessive outdoor noise from traffic, neighbors, or equipment is a common challenge for homes, schools, & businesses. One of the most effective ways to manage this is by installing a sound barrier—designed to block or deflect noise before it reaches your property.
StackWall's 6-foot precast concrete wall has been professionally tested & shown to reduce noise by 6 to 12 dB, depending on the sound's height & distance:
- Up to 12 dB reduction for Iow ground-level noise
(such as tires, exhaust, or lawn equipment) - 6-7 dB reduction for mid-level noise
(like conversation or music near the wall)
For homeowners, multi-family developments, schools, & businesses, this means a quieter, more comfortable environment that reduces the impact of everyday noise.
StackWall fences provide a proven, effective way to noticeably reduce outdoor noise & improve the quality of your living or working space.
Noise Reduction Ratings Explained:
Decibel (dB) Performance of Sound Barriers Noise barriers are typically rated by how much they reduce sound, measured in decibels (dB):
| DB REDUCTION | IMPACT |
|---|---|
| 5—10 dB Reduction | Noticeable improvement; sounds seem about half as loud. |
| 10—15 dB Reduction | Significant comfort boost in outdoor spaces. |
| 15—20 dB reduction | Excellent performance for busy roads or industrial areas. |
Ideal Projects for Precast Concrete Noise Walls & Sound Barriers
Residential Communities Near Highways
Residential neighborhoods near high-traffic areas: including gated communities, suburban housing by freeways, & apartment complexes near intersections or rail lines.
Industrial & Warehouse Perimeters
Block sound from generators, loading docks, machinery, or truck bays. Also helps maintain compliance with local noise ordinances.
Schools & Educational Facilities
Protect playgrounds & classrooms from nearby road noise. Create quieter learning environments in urban or commercial zones.
Parks and Recreation Areas
Shields walking trails, sports fields, & public spaces from urban noise. Ideal for sound-buffering along major roadways or rail corridors.
Commercial or Office Developments
Office parks near freeways or industrial areas. Improves productivity & tenant satisfaction by reducing ambient noise.
Mixed-Use Developments
Mixed residential-retail zones often need noise control between functions. Barriers can separate rooftop HVAC systems or trash enclosures from living areas.
