Deutsche Bahn built its Silence Innovations programme on our work. MetaWindow was certified for German rail and highway in 2024, after four years of joint development.
Rail, Germany
Five years of joint development. MetaWindow taken from concept to series production and certified for the German network; first installed on the Hamburg S-Bahn. Deutsche Bahn built its Silence Innovations programme on the work. MetaVibration tested in Elze, with 5 to 8 dB less vibration at every measured distance.
Freedom spent on transparency
Featured · MetaWindow (MWN)
Developed with Deutsche Bahn from 2020 and taken from first concept to series production through DB's innovation programme. Absorption happens inside horizontal extruded profiles, so the panel stays see-through.
Figures as published by Deutsche Bahn and the International Railway Journal
“With the transparent noise barrier, municipalities no longer have to choose between appearance and functionality.”

5 to 8 dB
A proof of concept with Deutsche Bahn. Independent measurements by Heiland and Mistler, using drop-mass excitation, at 8, 16 and 32 m from the source. Result: a consistent 5 to 8 dB of vibration reduction at the targeted frequencies, at every distance.
