SoundPLAN 9.1 is a professional noise simulation software suite designed for engineers and consultants working on environmental, industrial, transportation, and room acoustics projects. It includes two main products: SoundPLANnoise 9.1 and SoundPLANessential, with additional tools like SoundPLANmanda for occupational noise assessment. Below is an overview of its features and download information based on available sources.
Key Features of SoundPLANnoise 9.1
- Modular Design: Allows users to select specific modules tailored to their needs, such as road, rail, industrial, aircraft, or indoor noise simulation. Standard packages simplify module selection.
- Updated 3D Graphics: Utilizes the latest OpenGL technology for faster rendering and new features like 3D building contour line display.
- ISO 9613-2:2024 Compliance: Incorporates updated international noise propagation standards, including cylinder object types, chimney stack directivity, and foliage attenuation (trees/shrubs).
- Noise Barrier Transmission: Supports sound transmission through barriers for selected standards.
- Enhanced Data Import: Simplified import process with flexible property assignment via formulas and new import format libraries.
- Psychoacoustic Evaluations: Includes loudness, sharpness, and tonality descriptors.
- New Visualization Tools: Features a line band table and map for calculating and visualizing noise scores, hotspots, and statistical evaluations.
- Barrel Roof for Industrial Buildings: A new roof type for industrial noise modeling.
- Multitasking Capability: Allows simultaneous data editing, plotting, and calculations across projects.
- User-Friendly Interface: Supports various input data formats, Bing Maps integration, and noise mapping for indices like Ld, Le, Ln, and Lden.
- Applications: Used for route planning, noise action plans, noise mapping, approval processes, and open-plan office acoustics.
