Sound Absorptive

SoundSorb is a cement-based porous material designed to absorb, rather than reflect, sound waves. It delivers a superior noise reduction coefficient of up to 1.0, achieving exceptional acoustic performance With a thinner more aesthetically pleasing application then competitors.

Cost Efficient

SoundSorb is manufactured with sustainable cement and other high-quality ingredients that provide long term durability required by the transportation authorities without all the toxins found in other wall systems that harm the environment. SoundSorb passes the durability testing and received a Class A rating Fire Resistance and smoke test, not only providing aesthetic sound absorption, but a fire barrier between the highway and community.

Customizable

Soundsorb panels can be manufactured to a variety of sizes from large mono-lithic panels to stacked panels, all of which complement transportation authority’s project design specifications and can be easily transported and installed on site. SoundSorb can be precast in using custom textures and colors that reflect the history or social environment of a community (i.e. winery, boating, shipping, historical city, wildlife, or graphic art). SoundSorb walls can also be custom designed to be precast in single-sided or double-sided acoustical panels. Why pay for double sided sound absorptive walls when only single sided is needed.

Durable

SoundSorb is an advanced, open cellular, free-draining, high density structural cement-based material with a minimum PSI of 4500+ to meet transportation safety crash requirements. With a lifespan of concret, SoundSorb achieves a Class A rating in ASTM smoke and flame tests and is nonflammable.

Cladding

Install SoundSorb sound-absorptive wall cladding over existing walls to reduce reflected noise and reverberation—without major demolition. Contact us today to schedule a quick site assessment and receive a customized retrofit plan.

Highway

By absorbing, not reflecting, vehicle noise, SoundSorb helps lower overall sound levels along busy interstates and arterials.

Rail

Pre-engineered, modular SoundSorb sound absorptive wall systems fit tight rail rights-of-way and integrate with common foundations.

Enclosures

Incorporate SoundSorb into noisy enclosures such as HVAC systems, boiler rooms, and generator housings to transform them into quiet, comfortable areas.

Why SoundSorb

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 on sound walls used for noise control are in demand by engineers for several uses:

  • Erecting soundwalls along highways customized with project specifications
  • Making existing reflective walls sound absorptive by adding acoustical tiles
  • Lining parapets along railways
  • Enclosing noisy industrial areas
  • Providing noise control along residential areas.

Licensing Process

Concrete Solutions International, LLC (CSI) licenses its SoundSorb® production technology to manufacturers worldwide and maintains the cost efficiencies of SoundSorb® around the world by strategically appointing regional manufacturers.

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.

Sound Absorption 101

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®.
