If
you live along a busy highway or rail line, you know how noisy these areas
can be. Well, believe it or not, scrap tires can be used as an effective
– and attractive way – to reduce that kind of noise pollution.
 Carsonite International,
of Early Branch,
South Carolina,
has developed an
innovative Sound
Barrier System™
constructed from light-weight fiber-reinforced composite
tongue-and-groove “planks” filled with recycled tire shreds – to block
traffic noise.
A ten-foot high,
mile-long Carsonite sound wall uses up over 20,000 tires and is 15 times
more effective at reducing noise levels than concrete or wood.
The Carsonite sound
wall requires very little maintenance and is graffiti resistant. The Carsonite
Sound Barrier System™ helps eliminate high traffic noise while reducing
the number of scrap tires in dumps and landfills. For more information,
