Noise Mapping & Modelling

Noise Mapping and Modelling is an extremely powerful tool to evaluate and emulate various noise environments and enables the visualisation of sound propagation in a given environment.

Noise mapping and noise modelling are computational techniques used to predict and visualise the distribution of noise levels across a site or geographic area. NOVA Acoustics produces noise maps and acoustic models using Soundplan modelling software for planning applications, environmental impact assessments, noise action plans, and acoustic design.

NOVA Acoustics Ltd uses SoundPlan for environmental noise modeling which is a world leading software in 3D acoustics modeling.

Noise modeling can be used for any scenario, but is typically applied to complex environments with multiple sources of noise and multiple reflective surfaces.

The most vital aspect of noise modelling is having accurate input data as such we typically conduct an detailed noise survey of a site to assist in emulating the acoustic environment within the noise modelling software.
