Strategic Noise Mapping Software

Strategic noise mapping assesses noise exposure across a whole agglomeration, road corridor, railway or airport, rather than a single site. SoundPLAN is used to build these large-scale models, calculate population exposure and support action planning under the EU Environmental Noise Directive (END) and equivalent national programmes.

What SoundPLAN provides

• CNOSSOS-EU calculation, the method required for END strategic noise mapping
• Large-model handling with distributed computing across multiple machines
• Population exposure statistics from building and inhabitant data
• Lden and Lnight noise maps and conflict maps for reporting
• Action plan support: model mitigation scenarios and compare their effect before committing budget

Strategic noise mapping typically feeds into urban planning decisions and barrier design, and uses the same model as transportation noise studies.

SoundPLAN supports 50+ standards beyond CNOSSOS-EU - see supported standards. Request a demo or a quote.
