Key Features and Benefits
Direct OpenStreetMap (OSM) Data Import
Import georeferenced OpenStreetMap data directly into your projects and integrate terrain, buildings, and infrastructure seamlessly. This significantly reduces preparation time and allows you to focus on accurate noise analysis from the very start.
Advanced Directivity for Industrial Noise Sources
Model frequency-dependent 2D and 3D directivity for industrial sound sources with high precision.
Use predefined patterns from the built-in directivity library
Create and customize your own directivity data
Generate chimney directivity according to ISO 9613-2:2024
Import complex loudspeaker directivity patterns quickly using CLF files
This ensures realistic and standards-compliant sound propagation modelling, even for complex industrial environments.
SDE Stage Format for Professional Sound Systems
Support for the SDE (Sound Data Exchange) format, jointly developed with d&b audiotechnik and L-Acoustics, allows standardized and error-free exchange of sound system data.
The SDE workflow:
Eliminates manual system reconstruction
Reduces modelling errors
Accurately considers multiple interacting arrays, different propagation paths, and meteorological effects
Delivers reliable immission predictions in line with the latest regulations
Facade Contour Calculations
Visualize noise levels directly on building facades, making SoundPLANessential+ ideal for:
Detailed façade-based immission assessments
Clear, transparent reporting for authorities
Professional presentation for clients and public hearings
Building Acoustics Outside Module Included
SoundPLANessential+ includes the BA Outside module at no additional cost. This module enables calculation of airborne sound insulation against outdoor noise, expanding your capabilities without increasing licensing costs.
A Future-Ready Solution for Noise Professionals
SoundPLANessential+ is the ideal choice for professionals who need reliable environmental noise prediction software that is efficient, standards-compliant, and ready for complex planning tasks — today and in the future.
