SoundPLAN® is a software suite created by professionals in noise and air pollution engineering for acoustical engineers working with noise and air pollution scenarios.
The software specializes in computer simulations of noise and air pollution situations. Noise modeling calculations can be performed for traffic noise road and rail), occupational noise indoors and outdoors, general industrial noise and aircraft noise.
More than 50 calculation worldwide standards are implemented such as ISO-9613, ISO12354 etc. For air quality simulations, SoundPLAN® has many different models, ranging from Gauss models to complex hydraulic flow and dispersion models.
The team behind SoundPLAN® consists of dedicated software developers and acoustical consultants with backgrounds in software engineering, physics, engineering, and geography. SoundPLAN GmbH in Backnang, Germany not only develops the software but also offers consulting services for (special) projects. It’s the headoffice for SoundPLAN software.
The experience gained from the consulting group flows into the development of SoundPLAN®. The software is tested on actual projects to ensure our product is truly at the front of noise and air pollution simulations. The quality of our product reflects this constant closed loop cycle of consulting and development. Check it out for yourself!
For Asia, there is SoundPLAN Asia with its office in Hong Kong for local support and of course all SoundPLAN’s distributors. SoundPLAN Asia with distributors in almost all Asia will support you with demo’s, questions, inquiries and SoundPLAN training online or in your office in your own language !

SoundPLANnoise
The SoundPLANnoise package is modular
If you produce professional noise reports on a daily basis, you need noise software you can rely on. Engineering offices, state and local authorities, architects, concert promoters or venues, and universities all work with our effective noise software in a wide range of application areas.
Professional noise surveys for all requirements
Ranging from simple standard investigations to special tasks, SoundPLANnoise offers answers to every conceivable question in the fields of noise immission control, environmental acoustics and room acoustics. This includes, for example, route planning, development plans, approval procedures, noise action plans, noise mapping, assessing open-air events or planning open-plan offices.
Individually adaptable – easy to use
Here’s the special advantage of SoundPLANnoise: The modular structure of our software allows you, quickly and easily, to adapt the program to your individual requirements at any time.
SoundPLANnoise is also intuitive to use. With its well-thought-out workflow, it enables you to work efficiently – right through from modeling to the final graphical and tabular presentation of the results – so that you can reach your goal as quickly as possible.
Always up to date
Our maintenance contract guarantees that your SoundPLANnoise software is always up to date, so that the calculations you perform are always based on the latest guidelines and standards.
Product Description
Cover a wide range of applications with the SoundPLANnoise software package
SoundPLANnoise offers you the necessary tools and libraries that you need to execute your projects in all areas of application. Whether it’s a noise study for a building development plan, expert noise reports at the workplace or noise remediation: with its powerful and quality-assured calculation kernel, SoundPLANnoise is the professional solution for your tasks.
Noise surveys
Whether in buildings or outdoors, whether industrial or traffic noise: with its versatile tools, SoundPLANnoise is the right acoustics software for every conceivable area of application.
Creation of noise models and documentation
With SoundPLANnoise, it is easy to create quick noise simulations, a variety of tabular outputs and informative noise maps. It also supports the assessment of different evaluation methods.
Modular design of the acoustics software
Due to the modular structure of SoundPLANnoise, you can customize the acoustics software to meet your specific requirements. Modules can be added or removed at any time, according to your needs.
Modules such as road, rail, industrial or indoor noise, the enhanced graphics and mapping features in the 3D Graphics and Cartography and GIS modules, can be added or removed at any time, according to your needs.
SoundPLAN unlimited
No matter which configuration you use to work with SoundPLANnoise, the number of diffractive and reflective objects in a model is always unlimited. You can also take advantage of the unlimited possibilities for creating variants of sources or buildings to give you an efficient multi-document solution for your projects. While the calculations for a project are running, you can prepare and document other results graphically.
Flexible use of software licenses
SoundPLANnoise enables you to work in a flexible, modern way: in the office, together with colleagues using a server-based solution, on the way to an appointment or simply at home.
Always up to date
With a maintenance contract for SoundPLANnoise, you are always up to date. Our program is constantly being developed and adapted to the requirements of our customers. In addition, new guidelines and standards are being incorporated into the current version and are available free of charge via updates. For technical and content-related questions, our hotline team is happy to help you quickly, easily and personally by phone or e-mail.
The highlights of SoundPLANnoise at a glance
One software for many areas of application
SoundPLANnoise includes everything from modeling and calculation, to tabular and graphic documentation in various levels of detail to produce informative plans for road and rail noise, commercial and leisure noise, aircraft noise, and ‘Hallin’ (sound propagation indoors).
User-friendly analysis and optimization tools
In addition, SoundPLANnoise offers extensive tools – first and foremost among them is the integrated spreadsheet optimized for your problems. Further tools offer, for example, the optimization of noise protection structures, noise remediation, noise allocation, and noise protection concepts for industrial plants as well as various evaluations (such as the number of affected inhabitants) or the best cost-benefit ratio.
Flexible object definition with varying properties
A special feature of the two calculation modes “road” and “rail” is that even if any of the properties is modified along the course of the road or the railway (e.g. change of speed or bridge addition), there is no need to generate different road or railway segments.
Usage of extensive system libraries
As a SoundPLANnoise user, you have access to extensive system libraries for emission spectra, sound attenuation and absorption, which are regularly updated.
Standardized layouts
SoundPLANnoise, our acoustics software supports your personal project presentation with pre-defined layouts, table and graphic templates, which you can adapt to your own styles.
High computing power for effective work
Our high-performance computing core is our guarantee for a high computing power. If the computing power still should not be sufficient, for example, in the case of large computing areas or very large numbers of sources, it is simple to use SoundPLAN’s distributed computing feature: This shares the computing jobs amongst many computers on your network via automated workflows: the results are then automatically merged again. The size of the computing cluster does not matter. Whether you are using five or five hundred computers: You only need one license for this.
