SoundPLAN GmbH in Backnang, Germany is an engineering company with the main focus on noise control, air quality assurance and software development. SoundPLAN International LLC in Shelton, WA, USA acts as the interface between the development office and the more than 30 international distributors that help distribute and maintain the SoundPLAN software on a worldwide basis.
Our interdisciplinary team consists of engineers, geographers, physicists and computer science specialists. Our team generates cutting edge engineering solutions which we deliver to the global market in the format of our SoundPLAN software. Our SoundPLAN noise modeling software has maintained the status of the market leader for more than 20 years.
Under the menu topics SoundPLAN Acoustics and SoundPLAN Air Pollution you can find detailed information about the two branches of hte SoundPLAN software.
Our software comes in two flavors: SoundPLAN, the full industry strength software and SoundPLAN essential, the software for the occasional user.
SoundPLAN has the full industrial strength, the full flexibility and the full modular design. SoundPLAN essential was designed with the occasional user in mind, who wants the full processing power of SoundPLAN, but does not want to deal with the complexity of a fully flexible, modularly designed software. SoundPLAN essential combines the legendary SoundPLANcalculation core with a single document input editor to provide a program that has no artificial limitation on job size, but is quicker to learn, and for standard cases, provides striking results in a very short time.
With combining innovation, a fully integrated suite of indoor and outdoor noise modeling and air pollution evaluation, user friendliness and the best Graphics and Reports, SoundPLAN has been leading the market for over 20 years. With our proven development team we will lead the way into the future. Many innovations were designed by SoundPLAN and were copied by others. Like in many cases, the original is better than the copies! As SoundPLAN does not impose any artificial limit in project size, there are no hidden surprises when all of the sudden the maximum project size is reached and it costs more than the original cost of the software to lift this limit. SoundPLAN is the only software without any artificial restrictions in size or the number of objects that can be processed! Avoid costly retrofits and start directly with SoundPLAN.
SoundPLAN has been on the market since 1986. It enjoys the largest number of noise simulation software users worldwide. The complete integration of indoor factory noise, transmission through walls and the noise propagation into the environment make this software the ideal tool for engineers working in the fields of noise planning, noise in the workplace, noise mapping and as part of general environmental assessment studies. The unsurpassed numerical and graphical presentations make it easy to explain your findings to the public and to agencies requesting a study.
SoundPLAN, because of its integration of noise and air pollution modules, makes interdisciplinary work in planning easy. Many modeling objects are shared between the air pollution and noise models.
SoundPLAN helps you to work efficiently by offering templates for graphics, tables and spreadsheets, and by hosting all acoustics and air pollution relevant data in libraries that can be shared between users. Importing and exporting data in various formats make it easy to reuse data from external sources. The more you can import data, the faster you can proceed with the creative work of reducing noise in the neighborhood.
SoundPLAN is marketed worldwide via a network of dedicated trading partners. Currently more than 25 trading partners are active. Check our list to find information about the SoundPLAN representative in your area. If you live in an area without a distributor, contact SoundPLAN International LLC in Shelton, Washington, USA.
SoundPLAN is now available as the version 7.3 as native 64 and 32 bit versions. Both versions can be installed concurrently on the same PC, the 32 bit version is fit for all but huge projects. As long as Google Earth is only available as a 32 bit version, only the 32 bit SoundPLAN version can interface with this software.
SoundPLAN essential concentrates on the simulation of noise. It is best for smaller projects. This software has pre-formulated settings and templates so the occasional user can concentrate on the core.
SoundPLAN essential has combined a simplified, intuitive user interface with the full strength SoundPLAN calculation core. By sharing the file structure and the calculations with the industry leader, projects done withSoundPLAN essential can be processed further with the full version.
SoundPLAN essential is especially developed to quickly solve standard investigations and therefore does not need all the options of the full program. As it is a subset of the full version and shares some of the same components, the software has an excellent cost/performance ratio.
SoundPLAN essential is now available in the version 3.0 with a new noise source library. With this addition complex industrial noise modeling projects become easy.
SoundPLAN essential provides full performance for small to medium projects at a fraction of the price.
SoundPLAN essential displays all steps of an investigation with multiple tabs of the input/output.
SoundPLAN essential is now available with the additional module Building Acoustics outside to simulate the noise inside a building caused by outside sources.
SoundPLAN GmbH are also consultants for noise control, air pollution assessment, environmental assessment, traffic planning and software development. The following investigation topics are typical for our expertise:
If noise simulations are not the mainstay of your company but a project requires them as accompanying evidence, we can team up with you. Send us the raw data, the geometry and source information and we will create the simulations and return the results in tabular and graphical formats. You can incorporate these findings into your investigation report without the need to have a noise consultant on your staff.
If you have a big consulting project to do, but too little time to calculate everything in house, or if you do not have sufficient numbers of licenses to calculate a job, we can help! SoundPLAN GmbH owns a calculation cluster for fast parallel calculations. Send us the data and we will calculate it and return the raw results. You get the results faster and you have freed up your own resources to do other project calculations in the meantime.
If you have a noise control or air pollution project to do, but not enough time to familiarize yourself sufficiently with the materials, ask for information from SoundPLAN GmbH. There is always the possibility they have already completed projects such as yours and can assist with problem areas or the entire project.
SoundPLAN® was one of the very first noise modeling softwares on the market, debuting in 1986. Due to its ever increasing popularity on the world market, an international office was opened in 1999. The core of our business was and is the prediction of noise in the environment. Noise emitted by various sources propagates and disperses over a given terrain in accordance to the laws of physics. Worldwide, many governments and engineering associations felt the need to algorithmize the principles of acoustics so that different engineers assessing the same scenario would get reasonably close answers.
When the first standards were introduced, computers were not available for everyday noise calculations, so the equations were simplified for hand calculations. Some of these standards, designed 30 years ago, are still in use today. Over time, generations of researchers have measured noise and developed different interpretations of cause and effect, so the equations are becoming more complex to better represent the complex nature of sound propagation in the environment. The calculations have become so complicated and time consuming that the use of computers is paramount. Hand calculations and rough estimates with spreadsheets are a thing of the past. Our website tries to show the ever more complex world of physics and how our software solves complex problems automatically to free the consulting engineer"s mind so he can solve the creative part of noise planning. Trusting routine tasks to the software allows you to concentrate on your plan and how to present your findings to municipalities, environmental administrations and private and government bodies from research to planning.
