SoundPLANessential+ bridges the gap between SoundPLANessential and the full SoundPLANnoise package. It adds significant calculation capabilities for professionals whose work has grown beyond the scope of SoundPLANessential but who do not yet require the complete SoundPLANnoise feature set.
This package is well-suited for consultancies handling a mix of routine domestic projects and more demanding international or multi-modal assessments — for example, firms working on both national road noise studies and CNOSSOS-EU compliant reports, or those adding aircraft or advanced industrial sources to their portfolio.
One of the key advantages of the SoundPLAN product family is full data compatibility across all tiers. Projects created in SoundPLANessential or SoundPLANessential+ transfer seamlessly to SoundPLANnoise when you upgrade — no data migration, no rework, no lost project history. This protects your investment in noise modeling data and makes upgrading a straightforward decision at any time.
SoundPLANessential+ includes all the standards in SoundPLANessential, plus additional methods for road traffic, railway, and industrial noise relevant to international project work. Contact SoundPLAN Asia for the current detailed list of included standards, as the standard package is updated regularly to reflect new regulatory requirements in Asia and the Middle East.
SoundPLANessential+ runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit). For typical project sizes handled by SoundPLANessential+, an 8-core processor with 16 GB RAM provides good performance. For projects involving complex 3D terrain or large GIS datasets, additional RAM may be beneficial. Ask SoundPLAN Asia for specific hardware recommendations based on your typical project types.
Before purchasing SoundPLANessential+, SoundPLAN Asia recommends a product demonstration tailored to your typical project types. We can show you exactly which calculation standards are included, walk through a representative project workflow, and help you compare SoundPLANessential+ against the other products to make an informed decision.
