There are different types of soundproof fences you can select from, and they all offer various levels of effectiveness in soundproofing. While denser or heavier materials tend to block out more sound, they're not the best option for all households.
It will be best to check your HOA and local regulatory guidelines before you begin your fence construction. The job’s complexity will depend on the perimeter, design, material, and property size. Below are the materials that you can use in your fence construction to block sound:
A chain-link fence will only block sound if you install a sound blanket on it.
Natural fences are made of trees and make for an attractive solution to blocking surrounding noises. However, they take time to mature.
Metal fences are cost-efficient, but you will have to add a sound-absorbing material to them.
Wooden fences’ effectiveness on soundproofing depends on the installation method and type of wood, but you can add a sound-absorbing material to them.
Stucco-covered concrete, stone, and brick fences including gabion fences are the best materials to use as sound barriers.
