Commuter Rail Noise Mitigated

Location: Taipei, Taiwan

Description: Soundwalls featuring SoundSorb acoustical material trap noise from both the ground and the elevated sections of this railway, keeping it from reflecting to area businesses and residential areas in this densely populated area. In addition to the walls, SoundSorb blocks were made to line underneath the rails as well, to absorb the wheel noise of the speeding trains.

SoundSorb Quiets West Rail

Location: Hong Kong

Description: West Rail, Hong Kong's metro system, starts at Hung Hom Station in Yau Tsim Mong District and ends at Tuen Mun Station in Tuen Mun. West Rail averages 200,000 riders a year. More than 1.4 million square feet of SoundSorb was used on the railway's parapets to reduce noise the railway emits.

Windy City Rails Run Quieter

Location: Chicago, Illinios

Description: CSI's Chicago-area licensee installed SoundSorb on both sides of this elevated railway project. The panels on the outside of the railway capture ambient sound from the city, while the panels inside quiet noise from the rails themselves. This is important because trains act as moving walls, so the SoundSorb keeps the rail noise from reflecting off of the train itself and over the wall to area residents.

Asia Rails Rely on SoundSorb

Location: Beijing, China

Description: A custom block texture and geometric designs add visual interest to this highly effective soundwall, abating noise from surrounding areas.
