Sound Fighter© Systems’ LSE Noise Barrier System has continually proven itself as the most advanced commercial- grade absorptive sound wall in the market for the past 35 years. The LSE System has an NRC of 1.05 and a STC of 33. It is fully engineered, incredibly durable, impervious to the elements, very low maintenance and easy to install. The LSE System has been tested and proven in real-world applica- tions since 1973, and has been designed and used for many noise mitigation applications around the world, including DOT, bridges, hvac enclosures, gas compression, manufac-
turing, rail, transformer, residential, commercial, industrial, big-box development, schools, hospitals, churches and more.
The LSE System is virtually 100% absorptive, eliminating unwanted and unpredictable reflective noise associated with common reflective materials like concrete, block or masonry, and involves less maintenance than absorptive metal barriers. It is cost competitive with concrete, and historically less expensive than comparable absorptive sound wall products. Web: www.soundfighter.com
