ABSTRACT:
A sound barrier for isolating a noise source of the type emanating from manufacturing areas for food. The sound barrier comprises a panel made of sound attenuating material having a plurality of longitudinally extending side by side co-planar sections separated by V-shaped ribs so as to define a plurality of longitudinally extending side by side cavities. The cavities are provided with acoustical absorptive material therein so that the sound waves emanating from the noise source are first absorbed by the acoustical absorptive material and thereafter partly attenuated by the panel and partly deflected thereby so as to be absorbed again by the acoustical absorptive material. The panel is preferably transparent and portions of at least some cavities may be left free of acoustical absorptive material so as to provide undistorted vision from one side of the panel to the opposite side thereof. The sound barrier is intended to be disposed so that the open faces of the cavities confront the noise source. Alternatively, the cavities are separated by flat panel sections instead of V-shaped ribs, which sections are free of acoustical absorptive material to provide undistorted vision therethrough.
