Best Practice: Construction Site Noise | Creating Acoustic Shadows

What is an acoustic shadow, and how does it help to reduce noise on site?

An acoustic shadow is created when a physical obstruction absorbs a soundwave and prevents it from travelling. When soundwaves are absorbed by an obstruction, an ‘acoustic shadow’ is cast on everything behind it, reducing the level of noise that is heard in the ‘shadow zone’.

By doing this, it protects nearby residents, workers, and the environment from excessive noise exposure.
