Acoustic Barrier Fencing Sunshine Coast
Also known as a noise barrier, acoustic fence, sound wall or sound barrier
Acoustic Barrier Fence
As the name suggests, an acoustic barrier fence does a great job of reducing noise. Although acoustic barriers or fences are not completely soundproof, they are specifically designed to absorb sound vibration.
Acoustic barriers can be used for Sunshine Coast residential properties (no longer hear your neighbours brushing their teeth!) and also for commercial purposes like blocking road or industrial noise. Acoustic barriers can reduce noise dramatically using a variety of materials, including timber and steel.


What is Acoustic Fencing?
Acoustic fences are designed to reduce the amount of noise travelling between properties. Unlike standard fencing, acoustic fences are constructed using dense materials and sealed panels that block and absorb sound rather than allowing it to pass through gaps.
When noise from traffic, neighbours, or nearby industrial areas hits the fence, the solid structure reflects and absorbs much of the sound energy, reducing the noise level on the protected side. When built with no gaps, sufficient height, and sound-blocking materials, acoustic fencing can significantly reduce perceived noise levels and create a quieter, more comfortable environment.
Why use an Acoustic Barrier Fence?
- Excellent acoustic performance
Acoustic barriers are fantastic at reducing noise. - Extremely durable
Due to their solid construction methods, these fences typically have a very long life. - Suits indoor and outdoor applications
Acoustic barriers can be used inside factories and noisy buildings or outside to prevent sound coming out of building sites or coming in from busy highways.


- Adaptable
Can be built from several different materials in a number of styles to fit in with the existing environment. - Great for small home blocks
A practical fence for smaller residential house blocks that have very close neighbours.

Acoustic Barrier Fencing FAQ’s
Acoustic barrier fencing can significantly reduce perceived noise levels when properly designed and installed. The effectiveness depends on factors such as fence height, material used and the density of that material, and whether the fence is fully sealed with no gaps.
Acoustic fencing reduces noise but does not eliminate it entirely. The goal is to lower noise levels to a more comfortable and manageable level, improving both outdoor and indoor living environments.
For acoustic fencing to perform effectively, it must be installed with no gaps between panels or at ground level. Even small gaps can significantly reduce sound-blocking performance.
Unlike standard fencing, acoustic fencing is built using dense, sound-blocking materials and sealed panels. Standard fences often have gaps or lightweight materials that allow sound to pass through, whereas acoustic fencing is designed to block and absorb noise.
The required height depends on the noise source and the level of reduction needed. Generally, taller fences provide better noise reduction, especially when they block the direct path between the noise source and the protected area.
Building a fence over 2 metres high on the Sunshine Coast will require council approval.
Acoustic fencing is effective at reducing noise from traffic, neighbouring properties, construction sites, industrial areas, and other consistent external noise sources. It works best on direct line-of-sight noise.
Yes. Acoustic fencing is commonly used in residential settings where homes are affected by road noise, neighbouring properties, or nearby commercial activity. It can be designed to blend in with surrounding fencing and landscaping.
Acoustic fencing can be constructed from a range of materials including specially designed timber panels, composite systems, or steel-based solutions. The key factor is material density and proper installation by our team.
