SoundPLAN Noise Prediction Assessment Tool

Since its release in 1986 by Braunstein + Berndt GmbH software designers and consulting experts, SoundPLAN software has quickly become the standard for outdoor acoustics software in Germany and has gradually become the software for noise simulation, mapping, and assessment worldwide.

SoundPLAN is an integrated software that includes sound barrier optimization design, cost calculation, noise assessment inside and outside factories, and air pollution assessment. Currently, SoundPLAN's sales have exceeded 25 countries, with over 3,500 users, making it the most widely used software for noise assessment.

Application fields:

Simulation planning of road, railway, and aircraft noise according to various international standards.

Noise reduction scheme optimization, sound barrier design.

Projects such as petrochemical plants, ironworks, power plants, mining plants, and manufacturing plants, based on noise control area planning.

Certification of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards, community noise control, worker working environment noise control, etc.

This software also has the prediction and analysis functions for the diffusion and propagation of air pollutants.

Software features:

Modular: User-friendly software with a modular structure, allowing users to purchase the necessary modules based on their needs.

Reasonable software structure: Clear data structure definition, CAD format compatibility, virtual 3D display, and detailed factory noise database.

Reliable results: Fully compliant with international standards, fast calculation speed, capable of online and batch processing distribution calculations.

Quality assurance: Detailed calculation procedures, in-depth and thorough result representation, data calibration capabilities, and provision of calculation process records.

Software specifications:

Road, railway, and industrial noise simulation prediction, sound barrier optimization design.

Atmospheric pollution diffusion models and predictions for various international standards of traffic noise prediction, calculation, and analysis.
