Soundproof fence cost per metre

Live next to a busy road, noise is constant. Rough cost per metre for proper acoustic fencing? Worth the bother in your opinion?

"£250/£400 it would cost. A lot but would be worth it but make sure wood is good otherwise you could be replacing it in a few months"

"Acoustic fencing can definitely help with road noise, especially if it’s solid, has no gaps and is high enough to block the direct line of sound. The price per metre can vary quite a lot depending on the type of acoustic panels, posts and installation. For a busy road, I’d recommend proper acoustic fencing rather than standard timber panels if reducing noise is the main priority."

"For a proper acoustic fencing, we’d budget around £200–£360 per 1.8m bay fitted. It needs to be solid and tall with minimal gaps. It won’t block all traffic noise, but it should make a noticeable difference."
