The absolute enemy of noise reduction are gaps of any kind (hence why
vegetation is so bad)

I would suggest a normal stout closeboard or lap fence with thick
boards as high as you can go. Seal any and every gap

I would go for a brick wall. They have to be very badly made to have gaps
and the mass will also help to prevent them transmitting noise.

Yes but how much would that cost??

Seriously 2.4m/8ft high by 25m what on earth would that cost...does anyone
know?

I would expect it to be cheaper than a specialised noise reflecting fence,
especially if you use high density concrete block, rather than brick.

This being uk.d-i-y you would, of course do your own bricklaying and a wall
that big would give you a fair bit of practice. :-)
