INTER-NOISE 2026 - A look back!

What a great event! From 9–12 August, Asia Co., Ltd. and our Australian distribution partner, Marshall Day Acoustics (), joined INTER-NOISE 2026 in Adelaide. We presented new solutions for open-air event noise prediction as well as industrial and psychoacoustic noise assessment.

Here are some of the highlights from our stand:
Efficient Open-Air Event Noise Prediction
We presented the new System Design Exchange (SDE) format, developed by , .l_acoustics, and SoundPLAN. Both SoundPLANnoise and SoundPLANessential+ support SDE workflows, helping users integrate detailed sound system data into environmental noise prediction projects.

SoundPLANnoise 9.2
Visitors could also hear about the upcoming SoundPLANnoise 9.2, featuring a revised user interface and improved workflows for data import, data processing, and calculation setup.

SoundPLANessential+
We also showcased SoundPLANessential+, designed for efficient noise predictions, including evaluations of complex industrial sites and open-air events.

How Noise Is Perceived
Another focus was psychoacoustic assessment, including indicators such as Loudness, Sharpness, and Tonality, which complement conventional sound level assessments. These three psychoacoustic parameters have now been added to SoundPLAN software.

🚀 Welcome to the Team, Roland!

A warm welcome to Roland, who has joined our software development team.

Roland Wahl is primarily responsible for developing external tools for SoundPLANnoise and is currently focusing on the EU noise mapping project for the German Federal Railway Authority, Eisenbahn-Bundesamt (EBA).

He also supports the ongoing improvement of SoundPLAN’s import functionalities and is currently exploring options for handling IFC and DGN data.

In addition, Roland contributes to the reliable operation of our IT and network infrastructure.

With a degree in mathematics (Dipl.-Math. (FH), Stuttgart), he brings valuable expertise and analytical thinking to our development team. A few months in, and Roland is already making a difference!

👉 Fun Fact:
Roland is an enthusiastic road and mountain biker. His favourite T-shirts perfectly reflect his passion:
🚴 "The main thing is uphill." - „Hauptsache Bergauf“
🚴 "Why do I ride without a battery? Because I can!" - „Warum ich ohne Akku fahre? Weil ich es kann!“

The entire SoundPLAN team is pleased to have Roland on board, and we look forward to many successful projects together.

Meet SoundPLAN at INTER-NOISE 2026 in Adelaide!

We're excited to be exhibiting with our Australian distribution partner, Marshall Day Acoustics, at INTER-NOISE 2026 from 9–12 August.

Visit us at Stands 18 & 19 at the Adelaide Convention Centre to discover the latest innovations in environmental noise prediction and acoustic analysis.

Here's what you can explore:

👉Efficient Open-Air Event Noise Prediction
Discover our software tools for modelling complex sound system configurations and assessing their impact on the surrounding environment. A central element of this is the System Design Exchange (SDE) format, developed by d&b audiotechnik, L-Acoustics, and SoundPLAN. SDE improves the exchange of relevant sound system data between system design software and environmental noise prediction software.

👉SoundPLANessential+
Explore SoundPLANessential+ for efficient professional noise modelling, designed for applications such as noise predictions and evaluations of complex industrial sites and open-air events.

With direct import of georeferenced data from OpenStreetMap (OSM) and support for System Design Exchange (SDE) workflows, SoundPLANessential+ helps users streamline project setup and integrate relevant sound system data into their noise prediction projects.

👉 Preview: SoundPLANnoise 9.2
Get a first look at the upcoming SoundPLANnoise 9.2, our established software for indoor and outdoor noise analysis. The new version introduces a revised user interface, improved data import and processing workflows, and enhancements in environmental noise modelling, noise quota management, and room acoustics.

👉Psychoacoustic Noise Assessment
In addition to conventional sound pressure level calculations and regulatory assessment workflows, SoundPLAN will present tools that support a more detailed assessment of how noise is perceived. Learn how psychoacoustic indicators such as Loudness, Sharpness, and Tonality can help consultants and planners describe the perceptual quality of sound more comprehensively.

We look forward to seeing you in Adelaide and discussing the future of environmental noise prediction!

SoundPLANnoise 9.2 – NEW FEATURES

Import Free Properties

Want a sneak peek at SoundPLANnoise version 9.2?

In this post, we’ll introduce a new feature in SoundPLANnoise version 9.2!

Previously, when importing data, free properties had to be created manually first. Only then could the attribute be assigned to the free property.

In version 9.2, an attribute from the import file can be created as a free property and assigned with just one click! If necessary, the free property can also be edited during creation - for example, its name can be changed.

So, are you curious yet?

A competitive edge through research and collaboration:

How special projects put knowledge into practice

How does innovation arise in environmental acoustics?

Not solely through the application of established methods, but above all through a willingness to develop them further.

At SoundPLAN, research and special projects are therefore an important part of our work. They give us the scope to investigate new questions, validate models and specifically improve existing calculation and assessment methods.

The benefits become apparent where research is put into practice: in more precise predictions, more efficient workflows and new features that support users in their day-to-day work.

This is how knowledge is transformed into concrete problem-solving expertise.

Excessive workplace noise isn’t just annoying – it can be harmful.
But many companies still rely on raw measurements and manual documentation to assess acoustic risk. The result? Incomplete data, time-consuming reports, and unclear communication.

🔎We have the solution to help you solve this problem: SoundPLANmanda – your smart tool for better workplace acoustics.

Our software helps you:
- Map harmful noise with clear, color-coded visuals
- Analyze measurements using your own formulas (e.g., limit exceedance)
- Report results quickly with clean tables and graphics - ready for your documentation

Everything is based on international and country-specific safety standards.

Two inspiring days at the SoundPLAN User Days 2026 in Ulm, Germany, have come to an end.

A big thank you to all participants, speakers, and partners who helped make this event such a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and professional discussion.

Over the course of two days earlier this month, SoundPLAN and other industry experts explored the latest developments in SoundPLANnoise 9.2, practical workflows for data import and export, and the ongoing revisions to standards such as ISO 9613-2 and DIN 4109. Expert presentations also covered topics including noise and the German “Bau-Turbo” (§ 246e BauGB, accelerated housing construction provision), the future development of RLS-19, and psychoacoustics.

Beyond the technical sessions, the event offered a great opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and connect with colleagues from the acoustics and environmental noise community in Germany and Austria.

From insightful presentations and lively discussions to shared dinners and even our early-morning run, there were many opportunities to build valuable connections.

Thank you for joining us and for your valuable feedback. We are already looking forward to seeing you again next year.
