That sounds like what I was talking about. If the US does have them, that's great. But a lot of videos of the US that I've seen showed big roads through residential areas with no noise barriers around them. And with people here complaining about the noise, it's clearly not being used enough in all parts of the US.

Although of course noise barriers are just one of many tools. Less cars and having cars drive more slowly probably accomplish a lot more.

Noise barriers aren’t a ‘US’ thing. It would be up to the local state or county or city to build them so your results may vary. If you catch yourself saying ‘the US does this or that’ then reconsider the question bc the US doesn’t ‘do’ anything one way or another. It’s a collection of 50 states and thousands of localities.

That's why I said "if". I have no idea what the US does or doesn't do, I trust the people who post here to inform me about that.
