If you are not familiar with how loud your environment is (decibels, dB), below are diagrams that will provide you with some reference:

In Canada and the United States, general permitted noise level exposure in a 80 dB to 90 dB environment should not exceed 8 hours to prevent irreversible health effects. If you find yourself in such an environment, you should consider Natural Art Concrete Sound Wall.
Using high strength concrete, one of the most reliable building material known to men, Natural Art Concrete Sound Wall is the ideal product to provide an acoustic fencing solution for residential, strata-condominiums, commercial, and public works projects.
​
Also known as sound barrier, sound reflection wall, sound abatement wall, our Concrete Sound Wall can produce transmission loss of up to 38 decibels at 500 Hz, and often reduce the transmission of noise by up to 15+ dB in many of our projects.
