Answer:
Noise barriers reduce the sound from a busy highway by either absorbing the sound, transmitting it, reflecting it back across the highway, or forcing it to take a longer path to receivers. A noise barrier must be tall enough and long enough to block traffic noise from the area that is to be protected.
