Noise Wall Effectiveness
- Scenarios |
|
| |
|
|
|
Openings, such as for driveways, allow noise to reach the
receiver.
|

|
| |
|
|
|
Receptors near the end of the noise wall receive less noise reduction as
noise wraps around the end of the noise wall. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Noise walls have a zone of effectiveness, or shadow zone, which is
generally within 200 feet of the noise wall. The figure at the right
depicts the shadow zone area. |

The aerial photo shows how less noise reduction is achieved as the
distance from the noise wall increases. |
