Rick Green has experience with sound walls but don't know if he has measurements and/or data to support the acoustic aspect.I will send you his contact info BOM.

Good luck

Hello!

We've had an inquiry from a local road works company about using straw bale as a landscape wall for acoustical reasons along the main highway (keep in mind, in this neck of the woods...the main north-south road is two lanes only...).

They have requested acoustical research and data.  We have the information in Bruce's book, but I thought I would check to see if there has been any new testing or research done recently that you could share with us?

Does anyone have experience with landscape walls along busy highways?
I'm questioning the overall long-term durability of this type of landscape wall.  Your thoughts and input are all welcome.

Many thanks!

Cheers,
Sarah
