\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNoise barriers on railroad lines have become indispensable. They ensure that people in the vicinity of the tracks are not unduly disturbed by the high noise levels. In most cases, however, these noise barriers are neither particularly environmentally friendly nor visually appealing. This makes them a kind of necessary evil. In contrast, RAU\u00ae<\/sup> products<\/a> conserve resources. They also make an active contribution to climate protection. Our RAU\u00ae<\/sup> NoiseGuardGreen<\/a> is now officially the first green noise barrier to receive an approval recommendation for the railroad industry. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How does noise arise on the railroads? And why is noise protection so important here? <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rail transport in Germany is climate-friendly and reduces the burden on the environment. Unfortunately, however, in many places this causes severe noise pollution for affected residents. Passenger trains, but above all freight trains, currently cause train noise levels of up to 79 decibels (dB). However, the guideline value for residential areas is a maximum of 59 dB. Exceeding this limit creates a continuous health risk for residents. To counteract any rail noise, noise protection is therefore increasingly being planned and implemented along the entire Deutsche Bahn network. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Noise barriers and noise abatement measures such as soundproof windows should guarantee the highest possible level of peace and quiet and have a positive effect on the quality of life of local residents. Noise barriers along Deutsche Bahn railroad lines are currently often made of aluminum. This material is ideal as it is particularly versatile and narrow and also enables a narrow, high design. It can also be painted and greened. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The RAU\u00ae<\/sup> NoiseGuardGreen<\/a> wall is ideal for noise protection on both roads and railways and was officially approved by the building inspectorate in December 2022. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

RAU\u00ae<\/sup> NoiseGuardGreen<\/a> from RAU\u00ae<\/sup> makes noise barriers along railroad lines more ecological and even climate-friendly. The innovative, integrated climbing trellis allows climbing plants to be planted and visually enhances the noise barrier, while also providing a new habitat for regional animal species. NoiseGuardGreen therefore has a positive effect on the surrounding environment on several levels! <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
