The truth about
Acoustic fences
Forget everything you think you know about acoustic fences.
Consider carefully before you start
SOS NOISE is the real independent advisor for outdoor acoustic fences
What makes me radically different: I am on your side… of the fence!
I see and know much more options than others:
testing & simulation, budget, materials, design, building methods
like renovation and acoustical upgrade of existing fences
20 years of
Acoustic fencing experience
to your service!
Indeed: 20 years experience and knowledge in design sales and build of outdoor acoustic fences. In total more than 1000 big and small projects for government, industry, residential, heating pumps, traffic, railway, swimming pools, barking of dogs, neighbors, public playing infrastructure, sports infrastructure etc
An independent and very in-depth expertise and knowledge you won’t find elsewhere.
My approach? Personal, independent & honest advice with guarantee and extra services.
Did you know?
Through targeted advice.
Of a noise barrier in advance at your location. Hear and experience the difference for yourself before you proceed to the final purchase and construction of an (expensive) noise barrier. Not everyone has the same expectations and experience. You can decide for yourself whether the effect of a noise barrier meets your requirements and expectations on site, before proceeding to the final purchase and construction of a noise barrier.
(length, height, corners, doors, gates, etc.) in advance. In any case, this has a very positive impact on the acoustic end result, and in many cases also on your budget.
This is possible by applying an alternative construction method, in which we do not use the traditional, expensive and heavy noise barriers (which are derived from industrial applications and sectors). There is a much easier, very budget-friendly and more aesthetic method to create the perfect sound wall completely to your taste and budget. Since the typical noise barriers are not used for this, you will not find this solution at the traditional providers and builders of noise barriers.
To build a sound wall 100% to your individual choice/taste in terms of design, material and finish.
In some cases, a much shorter (or lower) sound wall achieves exactly the same noise reduction as a longer (expensive) wall. This way you can save a lot of money. This can easily be tested and simulated in advance.
In many cases, you can easily and cheaply renovate an existing fence and/or garden fence and convert it into a fully-fledged acoustic wall.
In many cases, an (affordable) mobile wall or acoustic garden furniture generates a much better effect than a long, expensive sound wall.
There is a simple and extremely efficient way to build an affordable sound barrier yourself or by your local gardener/fence builder and/or handyman by using standard building materials and garden materials.
That there is a super easy, creative and extremely cheap solution to solve the noise of a heat pump.
Tips & Tricks
· Avoid overly expensive doors and gates if possible.
· What you can see after the installation of a noise barrier will still be heard anyway.
· Always place the noise barrier as close as possible to the sound source. If this is not possible, place the wall as close to the receiver as possible.
· If there are no high and/or hard walls in the immediate vicinity, it is almost always sufficient to build a reflective sound wall. You don’t need any extra (expensive) absorption then.
· Always avoid cracks and crevices. It almost completely nullifies the effect of a noise barrier.
Services
- Quick Advice (by phone 24/7)
You want a reliable, honest and clear answer to your question as to whether a noise barrier will be of sufficient help in your specific situation.
- Consultancy (comprehensive advice)
You would like to discuss your situation and project in detail and to go over the possibilities. Test (set-up), simulation and optimal configuration, budget, materials, location, corners, doors & gates, location, length & height, etc.
- Test set-up
In more than 80% of the cases, it is possible to install a temporary wall very quickly and affordably. This way you can test, hear and experience for yourself what the result (the effective noise reduction) would be on your spot.
- Simulation & Configuration
A test set-up also allows us to test the ideal length, height and possible corners, doors and gates.
- SOS Budget: beautiful and efficient sound walls at half the price of current market prices.
- SOS Design: sound walls completely finished 100% to your taste and design of choice.
- SOS Construction (DIY): handy building solutions for do-it-yourselfers.
- SOS Renovation: upgrade of existing garden fencing and fencing to a fully-fledged acoustic wall.
If there is sufficient interest, you can register for an information session in a group. In this presentation you will learn everything about noise barriers and what you should pay attention to. You will also receive an explanation, accompanied by a demo, on how we can test and simulate the effect of a noise barrier at your location, as well as how this can easily be converted into a permanent noise barrier.
Mission
Through this new project and company, I want to tackle the recurring and major problems that (currently) arise in the purchase and construction of (outdoor) noise barriers and in many cases solve them definitively and radically. My mission is not to sell you an (expensive) sound wall, but to help you and solve your problem in the best possible way.
To this end, I have developed a number of innovative and unique services and systems. This can be done through targeted advice, extra services (such as test setups and simulations), guidance in the realization of (very) budget-friendly wall systems, information sessions, etc.
My goal is therefore to help, advise and guide you as best as possible with the (possible) purchase and construction of a noise barrier.
I’m on YOUR SIDE, so to speak… of the screen.
- Doubt and uncertainty about the usefulness, proper functioning and end result of an (expensive) noise barrier (read the effective noise reduction after installation).
To solve this, I have designed a test (wall) that gives you 100% conclusiveness and certainty about the end result. This test is carried out at your location, so you can hear and experience the difference in advance, before you decide to make a final investment in a sound barrier. Does this sound too good to be true? Indeed, but still it is possible with this concept. There is a way to simulate 100% the effect of a noise barrier at your location.
- The high cost of a “traditional” noise barrier. The purchase and construction of traditional noise barriers is a major investment
- First of all, there is always great doubt and uncertainty (in advance) about the proper functioning or the desired effect of the noise barrier, in your specific situation. There is always a great deal of uncertainty about the end result, i.e. the effective noise reduction. Every situation and individual experience is unique and therefore almost impossible to predict exactly. It is only afterwards, after the construction of the screen, that you can hear and experience for yourself what the effective noise reduction is. In many cases, this is a disappointing result, especially given the high expectations due to the large cost or investment associated with the construction of a “traditional” noise barrier. Moreover, the effective and “audible” noise reduction is in most cases a completely different experience for each individual. For example, one person is very satisfied with a noise reduction of 60%, while another still experiences this as very disturbing.
For this problem of doubt and uncertainty, I have worked out 2 solutions. In the first instance, I can help you through targeted, direct, reliable and affordable quick advice. This special service is for anyone who is looking for a professional, focused, clear and honest answer to the key question of whether the construction of a noise barrier makes sense at all in your specific situation. When it is clear to me that the investment in an (expensive) sound wall will not have the desired effect, I will inform you unvarnished. This is of course very unfortunate, but this way I save you a lot of money and time. As I said earlier, my goal or mission is to help you, not to sell an expensive noise barrier.
