Material commonly used to erect the physical noise barrier are sheet metal panels (zinc hoarding). Other than that, composite panels can also be considered for constructing the noise barrier. Please refer to Plates 20\u00a0and\u00a021 for examples of noise barriers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.5 When probable, place high noise-emitting machinery at the furthest point from the receptor (Please refer to\u00a0Figure 11 for an illustration of noise source allocation within a project site).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.6 Consider installing movable noise barriers when it is anticipated that high noise-emitting machinery such as piling machines are used on-site. Install the movable noise barrier as close as possible to either the noise source or the receiver, with no gaps or openings at the barrier joints to minimise noise disturbance to adjacent land users. Refer to\u00a0Plate 22 for an example of a removable noise barrier.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.7 Refer to\u00a0Appendix 1\u00a0for additional references on controlling noise from
