Comparison SoundPLANnoise and SoundPLANessential

The right acoustics software for every requirement

Writing noise reports for construction projects, performing various environmental acoustics tasks, or evaluating and optimizing an open-plan office are all examples of tasks that you may encounter. You can always rely on SoundPLAN.

SoundPLANessential, as a cost-effective option for standard noise reports in environmental acoustics, offers you the basis for fast and high-quality results – even if your main focus is not on noise protection.

If your field of activity changes and SoundPLANessential is no longer sufficient for your requirements, you can easily upgrade to the SoundPLANnoise package that suits you best at any time.

SoundPLANnoise is equally suitable for all facets of noise immission control, noise at the workplace or room acoustics, and small projects or nationwide noise mapping. Thanks to the flexible combination of modules, which allows you to only buy what you really need, you will find the perfect personal software package. Later expansions are possible at any time. The rental option for the whole software or for individual modules allows for further flexibility.
