       2 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the component comprises the frame-shaped structure, and where the frame-shaped structure comprises one or more concavely curved walls.  
   
   
       3 . The component in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the frame-shaped structure has at least two oppositely disposed concavely curved walls in specular symmetry with one another.  
   
   
       4 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure is planar.  
   
   
       5 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure is closed or open in the peripheral direction.  
   
   
       6 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure bounds a hollow space and is open or closed at one or both end faces.  
   
   
       7 . The component in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the hollow space is empty or is partly or fully filled with a filler material.  
   
   
       8 . The component in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein the filler materials is water, sand, gravel or hydroculture.  
   
   
       9 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the plastic is a thermoplastic.  
   
   
       10 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure is single walled or multi-walled.  
   
   
       11 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the component is manufactured in a twin sheet process or in a blow molding process.  
   
   
       12 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure has a smooth surface or a structured surface.  
   
   
       13 . The component in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the frame-shaped structure has recesses on its surface.  
   
   
       14 . A soundproofing wall comprising: 
 a plurality of soundproofing components, each soundproofing component having a frame-shaped structure which has a single wall or multi-wall plastic composite.    
   
   
       15 . The soundproofing wall in accordance with  claim 14 , wherein the components have at least one concavely curved wall and are arranged such that the curves of the components are flush with one another.  
   
   
       16 . The soundproofing wall in accordance with  claim 14 , wherein the components of the soundproofing wall have a height less than the height of the vehicles traveling on the travel path.  
   
   
       17 . The soundproofing wall in accordance with  claim 14 , wherein the components of the soundproofing wall have a height which is above the height of the wheels of the vehicle and below three times the height of the wheels of the vehicle.  
   
   
       18 . A system comprising: 
 a travel path having a travel line; and    one or more soundproofing components, each soundproofing component having a frame-shaped structure which has a single wall or multi-wall plastic composite and/or one or more soundproofing walls having said soundproofing component arranged in an area next to the travel line of the travel path.    
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 18  wherein the travel path is a railroad line.  
   
   
       20 . A method of manufacturing a component having a frame-shaped structure which has a single wall or multi-wall plastic composite, wherein the component is manufactured in the twin sheet process.  
   
   
       21 . A method of manufacturing a component having a frame-shaped structure which has a single wall or multi-wall plastic composite, wherein the component is manufactured in the blow molding process, in particular a railroad line
