How to Prevent Traffic Noise?

The only solution to block the sound of heavy traffic is to use noise barriers. As the Hatko Sound Barrier company, we manufacture high-quality sound barriers that are durable against outer effects like rain, snow, or thunderstorms. Our products which can insulate noise up to 40 dB are manufactured from recyclable and environment-friendly materials. So, the traffic noise which is between 35-39 dB can’t pass over our barriers.

At Hatko Company, we provide the best solution with our durable and long-lasting products to sound insulation, road safety, and strength. We place our barriers on both sides at the one-way roads that keep the noise inside. For two-way roads, we construct the barriers to the sides and middle of the roads that keep the noise on their sides. So the noise doesn’t affect the vehicles on the other side of the road.

This solution completely blocks the noise of the traffic. We have also different types of products in our portfolio that can increase the noise blocking level of dB or with different colors or different styles according to the aesthetic view.
