Have a sound studio in the backyard, and the Electric utility just cut down numerous trees that buffered the sound from an adjacent highway. Is there a relatively inexpensive way to block sound from the highway along a 200' chain link fenced property line?

  • I have seen sound barriers behind where bands play at restaurants when neighboring businesses do not want the noise. I'm sorry, but I don't know the brand name. Mar 11, 2016 at 10:15

The only thing I personally know of, but don't know its name or manufacturer, that works quite amazing is for cyclone fences only & used by Golf Courses. Their version looks & feels like Astroturf & are just slats or strips that you feed into the cyclone netting. Really impressive at a course I used to play, where you're only 40' from a 4-lane highway.

Otherwise, here's one of many companies who handle fence situations. That one's mostly blankets, but many others are slats or strips...Google - cyclone or chain link fence sound barrier. The Home improvement stores also offer aluminum mini-blind type slats, if you want to hide the sound treatment.

Sound Barrier Companies, may not sell for DIY

  • Wouldn't those mats rot?

  • Yep, but nothing's forever. They're like a scotch-brite pad.

  • The site lists them as indoor products. So they wouldn't be a good solution for outdoor noise.

  • I did some looking around and couldn't find them for interior (?) or exterior. But, I edited my answer to include the most current solutions.
