Epsilon was contracted to determine the feasibility of sound barrier construction in order to reduce traffic noise for a residential property.  Using noise measurement and traffic count data, Epsilon staff develed a computer noise model of the existing site using FHWA's TNM traffic noise model.  The model incorporated highway vehicle types, volumes & speeds, ground terrain elevations, and tree zones to accurately reproduce existing measured sound conditions.  The recommended noise barrier fence design was illustrated via before and after photograph simulations.  The visual analysis proved that the aesthetic views from the property would not be affected by the increase in fence height.
