Noise Modeling Software Module

SoundPLAN - Geo-Database / Manager / Library Module

Software that is structured like your consulting project. SoundPLAN is structured like any sensible consulting project. Organize the acoustical data of machines and vehicles, place the numbers into the library and then generate the basic model with its geometry. Match it with the acoustics (or air pollution) specific definitions. Merge different content from imported geometry and bitmaps with machine/traffic data from the library and complement it with materials properties like absorption and transmission from our vast library. Save the model and do the simulations in the Calculations Core. Continue to work on the acoustics, creating variants of the model to study/verify your suggestions. Finally, document your findings in the Graphics and Documentation.

SoundPLAN - Noise Mapping for Road / Railway / Distributed Computing Module

The road and railway modules consist of 2 main parts; the emission calculation and the propagation calculation. The emission calculation is always performed inside the Geo-Database where the vehicle numbers for various vehicle categories, the speed of the vehicles, and the road/rail surfaces are fed into a calculation that results in the emission level. The emission level can be the sound power or a sound pressure level in a given reference distance from the road/rail. Emissions are calculated for every section of the road/rail. Where conditions change in traffic speed, volume or surface type, a new emission value is computed.

SoundPLAN - Industrial Noise Indoors and Outdoors Modules

Industrial Noise indoors and outdoors with Noise Transmission. The SoundPLAN industrial noise modeling is unique. All questions of frequency dependant noise can be simulated whether it is purely an indoor problem, a receiver outside that needs to be assessed for outside sources, or a complex problem with the source inside an industrial building and a receiver on another building. The simulations inside industrial buildings are completely integrated with the transmission through the outer walls and the propagation into the environment.

SoundPLAN - Aircraft Noise Module

As not every aircraft lands as whisper quiet as this one, SoundPLAN noise modeling is needed! In contrast to the standard aircraft noise models, SoundPLAN makes it possible to depict a comprehensive noise picture of the flight operations around airports. Aircraft taxi, start, and land, but there are also the ground operations of engine run-up, auxiliary power units, carts of rattling baggage containers, air conditioning and traffic sources. SoundPLAN is capable of calculating noise levels for flying aircraft in accordance to various established models and can add the noise of traffic and industrial sources to give a complete account of the noise situation.

SoundPLAN - Tools / Documentation / Interfaces Module

In SoundPLAN special tools are found at every corner of the program supporting you in getting the best results out of noise modeling/planning software and to present your findings optimally. A lot of the tools are already included in the basic start-kits. The Documentation and the basic Spreadsheet are tools that go well beyond what many expect from planning software. In order to fully understand the extent of the tools, a software trial is the only way to go.
