SoundPLAN, noise mapping experience that you can count on
Over 20 years of experience in noise model development
An experienced and dedicated development team consisting of software developers, program testers and a technical writer for handbooks and documentation
The program is available in 14 languages
The software fulfills over 50 different national and international standards and is still adding new standards
Modular by design – you only buy the modules you need, extend your portfolio when a new job requires it
Not everything from data entry to the last plot in the same screen, but organized so every step is optimally supported with what you need when you need it
Calculates in the background – edit your data while the last set of data is still calculating
Organization of calculations as a spreadsheet with editing and execute dates and a full account of all parameters and the file name under which the results are saved
Update service via the web – click and see if there is a new revision that may already have the tool you just found out you needed
Multiple instances of the libraries (System, Global and Project)
A complete integration of aircraft noise, indoor factory noise, environmental noise and air pollution make this software completely unique
Multi-Document application – multiple input files, multiple calculation results, multiple documentation tables and spreadsheets and multiple sheets with varying, multiple content
Compare results from multiple calculations in tabular form or view the calculations in depth with Documentation and Spreadsheet
True Wall Optimization for single receivers and Façade Noise Maps with the results saved as a Geo-File so that it can be incorporated into the next calculation
Strategic project organization

Impressive graphics capabilities
Many different map types and display options can be freely combined for stunning graphics
Manage multiple sheets with multiple content all in one tree diagram with copy of elements and settings between them
Multiple types of graphics all on the same sheet
Triangulated “City Noise Map” with the possib9ility of 1 calculation and output for single frequencies or frequency bands
Flexible with user defined appearance via the object manager
Save graphics as a template and use the template in other projects – simply specify the data files and the formatting is done
Arithmetic with noise maps – add, subtract- show improvement between before and after scenario
Strategic project organization
Situations and Geo-Files – no redundant data, clear organization of variants
Tiling automatically manages huge simulation projects including the size of a country (the whole of Germany is managed as a single project)
User definable noise assessments SoundPLAN data objects
For example a speed and road surface for a road or the height and absorption coefficient of a noise barrier.
Superior Calculations with
High speed, high accuracy – calculate with projection to the Digital Ground Model
Industrial calculations with transmission from indoor to outdoor and outdoor calculations into the environment
Traceable and repeatable results that “know” where they come from and what settings were used in their creation (ISO9001 compliance)
Grid Noise Maps, Triangulated receiver mesh noise map, Façade Noise Map, Vertical Grid Noise Map, Single receivers etc.
Multi-threaded calculations with minimal overhead -on multi-core /multi-processor PCs run your application with just a few percent overhead (far less than the 40% advertised by Intel)
Distributed Computing to scale your application. Use as many networked PCs as you want for the price of a single small module – no extra license fees needed for additional number crunching PCs
Ability to calculate and edit your data at the same time
Industrial noise with mean frequency, octave bands and third octave band
