WHIS®wall
The WHIS®wall is a low-height noise barrier that uses diffraction to significantly reduce traffic noise. At only about 1 meter high, it offers an effective alternative to traditional 3-meter-high walls, making it ideal for locations where visibility, aesthetics, or spatial limitations are a concern. The WHIS®wall is easy to install, Cost effective, and requires minimal maintenance. Its discreet design integrates seamlessly into both urban and rural environments, while delivering high acoustic performance.
What is WHIS®wall?
The WHIS®wall is a low, innovative noise barrier developed by 4Silence that deflects sound instead of blocking it. Unlike traditional barriers that are often 3 meters high, this is only about 1 meter tall. Thanks to its smart acoustic design, it effectively reduces noise from road and rail traffic while maintaining open views and a minimal visual footprint. The compact design allows for faster installation, lower material use, and seamless integration into both urban and rural environments.
