Where it performs
Highways, housing next to transport corridors, commercial boundaries and railway-side sites. Its published rail rating makes it one of very few timber barriers with railway noise performance on record.
A laboratory DLR rating describes the barrier itself. The reduction at a receiver also depends on height, length and position, which your acoustic consultant models.
