Acoustical Products Made in USA.
Parking garages located near residential buildings can produce significant noise from vehicles entering and exiting the structure. Sounds such as engines accelerating, tires squealing on ramps, car doors closing, and horns can create noise levels between 70–80 dB(A). When garages operate near apartments or condominiums, these sounds may travel directly into nearby homes.
Parking structures often have open sides or minimal barriers to allow ventilation. While this design is important for airflow, it also allows vehicle noise to escape easily into surrounding areas. Residents living next to garages may hear traffic activity early in the morning or late at night when vehicles enter or leave the structure.
Repeated exposure to parking garage noise can become frustrating for residents, particularly during nighttime hours when the environment is otherwise quiet. Even moderate sound levels may become noticeable when there are few other background noises present.
Installing the MassiCore® Vinyl Fence Acoustic Barrier System around the perimeter of parking structures helps reduce noise transmission into nearby residential areas. This acoustic vinyl fence barrier blocks and reflects vehicle noise before it spreads beyond the garage.
With MassiCore® Vinyl Fence Acoustic Barrier Systems, vehicle noise reaching nearby homes can often be reduced from 75–80 dB(A) to approximately 55–60 dB(A), creating a quieter living environment for residents.
