Plantable noise abatement wall

A wall for abating noise along a highway, along a railway, or along another noise-generating way, the noise-abating wall having an anterior face and a posterior face and comprising, across each face, concrete modules stacked in an upper tier, at least one intermediate tier, and a lower tier, each module being plantable and having a batten, wherein, across each face, said modules are spaced laterally from one another in courses, one course in each tier, so that modules of each course straddle modules of the next course above or below said course, and wherein, in each of selected ones of the tiers, a continuous flexible tie is deployed back and forth around the battens of a plurality of the modules along the anterior face and around the battens of a plurality of the modules along the posterior face so as to tie the modules along the anterior face to the modules along the posterior face.
