... lose initial advantages. In this study, it was focused to compare the soundproofing performance according to the type of polymer materials and panel structure to development of eco noise barrier. As a result, it was observed that PE and PP showed similar a soundproof performance with PC. And in case of soundproofing panel with double layer, sound insulation performance is improved about 17% compare to soundproofing panel with single layer.
