A bank with a hedge on top might do quite well if you have the room - no experience of that, but it's what they seem to be doing alongside new bypasses nowadays. It doesn't mean that it is effective. The Dutch installed hundreds of kilometers of sound barriers along urban parts of their motorways, before somebody made some independent sound measurements and proved that the stuff was not effective. Locally somebody did some tests that demonstrated that in a gale the whole lot my blow over, so they made lots of really big holes in it. -- Martin |
