Working with complex SketchUp models for room acoustics simulations?

When tags are assigned to individual elements, such as walls or windows, they are automatically converted into groups during the import into SoundPLANnoise.

Why is this useful?
✅Grouping makes it much easier to quickly select related elements and assign the same properties to multiple objects at once - saving time and improving workflow efficiency. ⚡

A smarter way to prepare your SoundPLAN models for calculation. 🚀

We recently shared news about the introduction of the SDE Standard - a unified approach to noise prediction across multiple sound systems. Industry-leading audio technology companies, L-Acoustics, and d&b audiotechnik teamed up with SoundPLAN to develop the standard to help accurately predict environmental noise in the live event industry

The joint announcement gained strong international media attention.
Explore the highlights below to see what the standard means for system technicians, promoters, consultants, and local authorities.

Noise in the workplace is not only disruptive, but it can also cause serious health problems. Employers must identify and label particularly noisy work areas and ensure that hearing protection is used.

With SoundPLANmanda, hearing protection zones can be easily defined and documented.

Have you already used SoundPLANmanda software to assess noise risks in the workplace?

We would love to hear about your experience!

Check out our upcoming training courses for July and September!

Our free webinar in German and English, Product Presentation: SoundPLANessential, is perfect for everyone interested in professional sound engineering studies.

The main goal of the webinar is to show how to process sound engineering studies efficiently with SoundPLANessential.

What will you gain from the webinar session?

Using a simple practical example, we will demonstrate how to build a calculation model in SoundPLANessential for road and commercial noise assessment, including:

• Importing data from other programs
• Creating a digital terrain model from elevation points
• Calculating street emissions
• Defining the noise power of commercial sources
• Performing noise calculations
• Documenting input data
• Presenting results in tables and graphics

Spaces are limited, and we’d love to have you join us in July!

From 20–24 April, we welcomed our international distributors to our headquarters for a week of exchange, learning, and discussion.🥍

The REP Meeting included three days of training and two days of discussion focused on marketing, development, and sales. It was a valuable opportunity to share ideas, discuss current topics, and strengthen collaboration with our partners from around the world.

Software highlights included:
✅Training sessions on SoundPLANnoise, including the indoor noise module, aircraft noise, and handling large projects
✅A preview of SoundPLANnoise 9.2, with insights into the reworked noise allotment module and calculation kernel
✅A look ahead to SoundPLANmanda 2.0, including new features and user-driven requests
✅Sarooma – live demo of the new RTmeter app

In addition to the professional exchange, the week also offered time for personal conversations and enjoyable evenings together in our local area.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Backnang and to everyone who helped organize the remarkable event. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and seeing you again at future SoundPLAN events.

Library Filter

Does this sound familiar?
You’re searching for a specific entry in the extensive library—and end up getting lost in endless scrolling?

The solution is easier than you think: Use the filter function!

The library offers a variety of filters:
- Text filter
- Group filter
- Type filter
➡️ And best of all: You can combine them!

New feature:
In the emission, absorption, transmission, and attenuation libraries, you can now also filter by spectrum type—whether third, octave, or single value. More clarity and less searching!

🔊 Introducing the SDE Standard - A Unified Approach To Noise Prediction Across Multiple Sound Systems🔊

Accurately predicting environmental noise has always been a challenge in the live event industry - until now. The SDE standard is a game-changer, providing a unified method and file format to ensure reliable, consistent, and comparable predictions across different acoustic modeling software.

That is the reason why industry-leading audio technology companies, L-Acoustics, and d&b audiotechnik have teamed up with SoundPLAN and developed the SDE (System Design Exchange).

What does this mean?
With SDE, system technicians can now export their designs from software like d&b’s ArrayCalc or L-Acoustics’ Soundvision as standardized SDE files. These can be seamlessly imported into environmental noise software, SoundPLANnoise, making calculations for festivals with multiple stages and different manufacturers' sound systems more accurate and efficient than ever before.

Why is this important?
✅ A standardized file format for accurate and comparable predictions
✅ Consideration of complex acoustic interactions, including phase coherence
✅ Fast, secure & efficient workflow for system technicians and planners
✅ Accurate noise emission forecasts for events of any scale

In the future, the SDE standard will be made available to other manufacturers and noise pollution software - an important step toward more precise and sustainable event planning!

What a great few days at DAGA 2026 in Dresden!🎉

From 23–26 March, we had the pleasure of presenting our latest noise modelling solutions for renewables, regeneration and more at the International Congress Center Dresden. It was fantastic to connect with so many industry experts, partners, and researchers passionate about advancing acoustics and sustainable infrastructure.

At our stand, visitors explored latest innovations and developments about SoundPLANessential+, Sarooma 2.5.2, SoundPLANmanda for workplace noise mapping as well as a preview of the new version of SoundPLANnoise 9.2.

A big thank you to the organizers – the German Acoustical Society (DEGA), Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden), and the Polish Acoustical Society – for hosting such a well-organized and inspiring event in Dresden.

We’re grateful for the many insightful conversations and look forward to continuing them beyond DAGA 2026!

Dear SoundPLAN Community, 🐣

As Easter approaches, we’re sending our warmest wishes to our valued clients, distribution partners, colleagues, and followers.

This spring, we’re excited to continue strengthening our collaborations with leading acoustics companies such as d&b audiotechnik, L-Acoustics, and many others across the industry. We’re also looking forward to our annual events, including our next series of Distributor Days with our international partners this month, and our User Days in June, along with plenty of other plans.

May this Easter bring fresh energy, new ideas, and continued success - both professionally and personally.

Thank you for being an important part of the SoundPLAN community. This year is already shaping up to bring continued innovation and exceptional sound together.

Happy Easter! 🌸🐰

Working with huge GeoTIFF files? We’ve got good news. 👀

Check out our latest video with another import format in version 9.1 in SoundPLANnoise. In the Geo-Database you can import LZW compressed GeoTIFFs! The import works as usual.

A LZW-compressed GeoTIFF uses LZW compression, a lossless method that reduces the file size without altering the data. All image information and georeferencing remain intact, but the file is smaller and requires less storage space.
