As more and more people live
closer and closer together in tightly packed subdivisions, the mental
stress of noise becomes a serious issue. Noise nuisance complaints
are on the rise and litigation is increasing. The problem is not
limited to wild parties or garage rock bands. Noise that ordinarily
wouldn't bother anybody, like ringing phones, pool pumps, or a TV,
have now become the sound-track of modern living. We try to tune
it out, yet the stress it causes is still present, and there's seemingly
no way around it. That's why ASC developed the SoundFence.
How it Works
The
SoundFence is most effective at frequencies above 500Hz which is
also the frequency range most perceived by the human ear. SoundFence
flattens the perception curve across the sound spectrum while at
the same time lowering the overall noise level. SoundFence not only
reduces the overall noise level, but reshapes the perceived noise
to meet the architectural standards for acceptable levels which
is a perceived flat spectrum.
SoundFence vs.
Concrete Soundwall
With no soundwall present,
sound travels freely onto the property and sound reverberates on
the property freely. Traffic noise can intrude, even from a relatively
great distance.
With the
typical highway soundwall , sound is reflected from both sides of
the wall. Car noise bounces back onto the roadway, but yard noise
bounces back to the house. An echo effect is created. The diffraction
effect can also recurve noise back to ground level, causing a horizontal
hissing sound coming off the top of the wall. A real headache.
With the ASC
SoundFence, sound is absorbed on both sides of the fence. There
is no echo chamber effect as sound intensity is greatly reduced.
Both street and backyard noise is reduced and a more comfortable
ambiance is achieved.
Installation
is Fast and Easy The SoundFence goes up in 3 easy steps. A detailed
installation guide comes with every order, but here are the basics.
Step one is building the fence frame.
Step two is
to place the SoundFence Panels into the fence frame.

For "non-standard"
applications, we can engineer a custom plan that will give you the
peace of mind you deserve. To get started, fill out our Online
Info Request Form. We'll also need you to e-mail photos and
a rough site plan. This service entails a small fee which will be
applied to your SoundFence order.
