Temporary noise problems often need a different solution than permanent noise walls. Construction equipment, generators, pumps, compressors, drilling operations, maintenance work, and mobile industrial equipment may only stay in one location for a few days, weeks, or months.
Sound Fighter® Systems’ LSE® Mobile Noise Barriers are designed for those changing conditions. These free-standing absorptive walls can be positioned near a noise source, left in place for as long as needed, and relocated when the project or equipment moves. Sound Fighter’s current product guidance identifies temporary construction, generators, pumps, compressors, drilling, maintenance work, and industrial activity as common applications.
The advantage is flexibility. Instead of building a permanent sound wall for a temporary problem, mobile barriers can be reused across multiple areas or job sites while helping reduce direct and reflected outdoor noise.
There are many industrial and commercial uses for noise absorbing barriers. Our products help reduce noise for companies indoor and outside depending on where you need sound reduction. Our products can block noise from penetrating commercial retail and traffic byways. They can protect workers from loud machinery. We create single and double personnel doors with emergency levers. If you need a particular color or cut-out, then SFS has a solution for your needs.
Installing Portable Noise Barriers
Our portable noise barriers come with drawings and instructions for assembly and erection of our mobile barriers. The setup time will vary depending on the size of the installation crew, but will typically average 3-4 total man-hours per unit. There is no drilling or cutting needed, just a simple bolt and tightening job and your mobile sound barriers are assembled. SFS now has shipping containers designed to move your sound absorbing panels between job sites, machinery, and businesses.
Benefits of Sound Absorbing Panels
At SFS, we are dedicated to providing products that do not rust. Our noise reduction barriers are created to eliminate noise while being versatile and mobile. Our moisture resistant panels are available in several colors so that you can match them to your surroundings or business. Your sound barriers will never rot or fall apart no matter how many times you put them up and take them down to move them to another area. We ensure quick deliveries to help you get in compliance fast. One of the best advantages of using SFS is that our staff is dedicated to providing a sound absorbing system for any needs you have with your commercial project.
Reasons For Noise Mitigation
You know that using protective panels helps protect workers ears, but it also keeps noises in agreement with local regulations preventing you from any fines or fees associated with elevated noise levels. You also help the environment when you use noise absorbing panels like those we create to eliminate noise rather than reflect it to another area. Echoes are eliminated, and wildlife remains in the area rather than moving away from the noise.
If you have a structure that needs lightweight protection, then our panels are perfect for your application because they weigh less than traditional options. When you need something you think is not available, feel free to bounce your ideas off our teams because we do not stop until we find an answer that works for you and your business.
SFS is proud to be a leader in sound absorbing solutions for every industry.Whether you need a small, portable sound barrier or a fully engineered noise barrier, we can accommodate your requirements. Our staff is ready to tailor a solution to any outdoor noise issue.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Noise Barriers
What are mobile noise barriers used for?
Mobile noise barriers are used for temporary or changing outdoor noise sources. Common applications include construction equipment, generators, pumps, compressors, drilling, maintenance work, road work, industrial equipment, and other projects where a permanent wall may not be practical. Sound Fighter’s current mobile barrier page lists many of these same use cases.
How do portable noise barriers reduce sound?
Portable noise barriers reduce sound by interrupting the direct path between the noise source and the receiver. Absorptive panels also reduce reflected sound energy, which can be helpful around hard surfaces such as pavement, buildings, machinery, trailers, and equipment housings.
When should I use a mobile barrier instead of a permanent sound wall?
A mobile barrier is usually a better fit when the noise source is temporary, moves around the site, or may need to be controlled in different locations over time. Permanent barriers are generally better suited to fixed, long-term noise sources.
How long does it take to install a mobile noise barrier?
The original Sound Fighter blog states that installation typically averages about 3–4 total man-hours per unit, depending on crew size, and that assembly does not require drilling or cutting. Because this figure comes from the older post, it would be wise to reconfirm it against current installation guidance before publishing it prominently.
Can mobile noise barriers be moved between job sites?
Yes. Sound Fighter designed its mobile barriers to be relocated and reused. The company also notes that the units can be moved with equipment such as a Sky-Trak or similar lifting equipment, depending on site conditions.
