Abstract:
1. A noise barrier system comprising: a base comprising a groove-shaped depression; a transparent superstructure comprising at least two transparent noise barrier elements, wherein each transparent noise barrier element has a top portion, a bottom portion, a front surface, a back surface, and two sides; a support holding the at least two adjacent transparent noise barrier elements that comprises a sequential point-fastening of the transparent noise barrier elements, wherein the sequential point-fastening connects a side of one transparent noise barrier element to the other side of another transparent noise barrier element so that the transparent noise barrier elements form essentially one plane; wherein a position of upper holding points of the transparent superstructure is arranged at a height of from 70 to 90% of a total height of the transparent noise barrier element and at a distance of from 3 to 50 times a thickness of the transparent noise barrier element from a vertical edge; wherein the top portion of the transparent noise barrier element is flexed, and an angle of the flexure being from 30° to 90° from vertical, and a width of an angled region being from 5 cm to 50 cm; and wherein an entire length of the bottom portion of the fastened transparent elements is secured within the groove-shaped depression.
