    Paling fences will reflect high frequencies but does nothing to stop the transfer of the mid range and lower frequencies. It will reduce direct sound transmission by some 5 to 10% depending on the height of the fence. A double layer of palings can add a small amount to the reduction of noise. Brick fences are good for the reflection of high frequencies however they transmit low frequencies often adding the the noise through reflected sound waves.A brick fence 1.8 m high could improve the sound level within the yard by around 15% however if the sound is trapped between brick walls it can add to the resonance. Brushwood fencing is very good at absorbing reflected noise at most frequencies and can improve sound levels by 20%
