The SoundSorb® acoustical material was created as a cost-effective solution for noise mitigation by absorbing sound energy rather than reflecting it. The material is integrated with a structural concrete precast panel during the production phase. Effective sound absorption with aesthetic features within the sound walls for noise control are in demand by engineers for use along highway, rail, industrial and residential areas. Property owners desiring to improve their quality of life, preserve their health and protect their property values have realized the benefits of SoundSorb.

SoundSorb, a cement-based material, has the effective acoustical structure necessary to absorb sound energy, offering the highest Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.0 at 3.5 inches thick. Its unique, durable, porous structure prevents noise from being reflected back into the community. In comparison, a typical sound wall composed of solid or sound-reflective surfaces simply redirects the noise, thereby augmenting the noise pollution. One main concern of property owners is the appearance of the wall itself. SoundSorb solves this problem because it can replicate virtually any aesthetic texture and is available in a variety of colors. SoundSorb eliminates unwanted noise while offering an attractive, affordable solution to noise pollution. Design, civil and acoustical engineers are specifying SoundSorb because it's a versatile, cost-effective, common-sense solution to noise abatement.

Concrete Solutions, Inc. (CSI) licenses its SoundSorb production technology to manufacturers worldwide and maintains the cost efficiencies of SoundSorb around the world by strategically appointing regional manufacturers. International acceptance of SoundSorb provides precast manufactures with the opportunity to expand their product line with the most innovative sound-absorptive material available, while providing individuals, local communities and the environment with a cost-effective, noise-abatement solution.

Residential communities that are suffering from highway, rail or general transportation noise and want a cost-effective solution should contact the environmental division of their local state Department of Transportation for assistance and suggest their DOT inquire about SoundSorb.
