SOUND BARRIER

摘要

The present invention provides a sound barrier (1) including a plurality of elongate panels (2) having first and second ends (3 and 4), each panel (2) being formed from a shell (5) defining an inner chamber (6) adapted to contain sound attenuating material, said plurality of panels (2) being supportable in a planar configuration by a first support means (7) adapted to engage said first and second ends (3 and 4) respectively. Preferably the shell (5) is constructed from plastic and/or fibreglass and the sound attenuating material is a fluid such as water which may optionally include other materials such as sand, slurry, concrete rubble, mud, etc. Some embodiments include second support means (9) which are attachable to the post (7) so as to engage the panels (2) and thereby transfer a substantial portion, or all of, the weight of each panel (2) to the post (7).
