SoundPLANnoise — Professional Environmental Noise Modeling Software

SoundPLANnoise is one of the world's most widely used software platforms for environmental noise prediction, assessment, and strategic noise mapping. Developed by SoundPLAN GmbH in Germany and continuously updated since 1986, it is used by professionals — environmental consultants, transport planners, airport authorities, government agencies, and academic researchers — in more than 60 countries.

At SoundPLAN Asia, we distribute SoundPLANnoise across the Asia and Middle East region, providing local-language support, training, and project assistance. Our clients use SoundPLANnoise for Environmental Impact Assessments, strategic noise action plans, road and rail infrastructure projects, airport noise contours, and industrial permitting across Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and beyond.

Modular System

SoundPLANnoise is available as a modular system — start with the base package and add calculation standard modules as your project portfolio grows. This keeps your initial investment focused on what you need immediately.

Regional Support and Customisation

SoundPLAN Asia provides regional support for SoundPLANnoise users across Asia and the Middle East. This includes assistance with country-specific calculation standard selection, guidance on applying international standards to local regulatory frameworks, project workflow consultation, and technical support during active projects. Our team has direct experience with noise assessments in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other markets — giving us the context to provide relevant, practical advice rather than generic software support.

Licensing and Maintenance

SoundPLANnoise is sold as a perpetual license with an annual maintenance option. Annual maintenance includes all software updates (including new calculation standard additions), priority technical support, and access to SoundPLAN GmbH's technical resources. The modular license structure allows you to build your configuration over time — adding calculation standard modules as your project work expands into new countries or noise source types.
