SoundPLANnoise modules

SoundPLANnoise starts with the Base Module, which includes the GeoDatabase workflows needed to prepare and manage project data. Noise, graphics and workflow modules can then be combined to match each license package.

Base Module

Base module

The required SoundPLANnoise foundation for preparing, describing, managing and documenting project input data.

Noise propagation modules

Industrial Noise

The flexible SoundPLAN concept allows a comfortable modeling of the geometrical situation. All important source properties such as frequency spectrum (in 1/1 or…

Road & Rail Noise

The road and rail modules consist of two main parts, the emission and the propagation calculation. The emission calculation is performed inside the Geo-Databas…

Aircraft Noise

The aircraft noise prediction module is fully integrated in the software package of SoundPLAN. All the existing tools such as various import and export possibil…

Indoor Noise

The calculation of interior noise levels in working rooms is in SoundPLAN based on the VDI 3760 or a newly developed sound particle model (SPD). It is possible …

Graphic modules

Cartography

Adds map services, OSM/WMS workflows, KML export and automated cartographic output to SoundPLANnoise projects.

Grid Noise Map (GNM)

Calculates receiver grids and presents results as isophone maps, contour lines or color-gradient grid maps.

Grid Cross Section Map – GCSM

Adds vertical grid calculations along cross-section lines, especially useful for showing barrier effects.

Facade Noise Map (FNM)

Places facade receivers automatically and visualizes floor-by-floor facade levels in 2D and 3D.

3D Graphics

Visualizes terrain, geometry, bitmaps and calculated grid or facade results in 3D.

3D Graphics Animation

Creates animated drive-throughs, flyovers and animated noise-map presentations for 3D projects.

Highlighted additional modules

GIS Interface

Adds shapefile, GeoPackage, OSM, CityGML and result-export workflows for GIS-heavy projects.

Distributed Computing

Distributes demanding SoundPLAN calculations across multiple computers or worker processes.

Noise Mapping Tool Box

Adds tools for strategic noise maps, action planning, large projects, statistics and hotspots.

Radar Tracks

Imports and processes radar tracks for aircraft-noise workflows using aircraft and ANP database data.

Room Acoustics (T60, STI…)

Calculates room-acoustic parameters such as T60 and STI, with auralisation and graphical output.

SoundPLANmanda

Basic Mapping + Workplace evaluation

Core SoundPLANmanda workplace-noise mapping and exposure evaluation, also available for SoundPLANnoise.
