Top Recommended Alternative

  • Pros

    • Fully compliant with the international standard ISO 9613-2.
    • Intuitive, easy to use Graphical User Interface.
    • Georeferenced simulation plots can be viewed directly in Google Earth.
    • Models noise attenuation using both natural and man-made barriers.
    • Calculates sound propagation in octave band A-weighted levels.

  • Cons

    • Scope appears limited strictly to outdoor industrial projects.
    • No specific mention of integrated reporting generation features.
    • Output visualization relies on Google Earth integration for viewing.
    • Missing explicit details regarding required system specifications.

Developer’s Description

By dB Foresight
Assess noise impacts in the vicinity of any facility.
Noise prediction and mapping software for outdoor industrial projects. Noise impact assessment software. Fully compliant with the ISO standard 9613-2. Convenient output data for permitting, regulatory applications and public consultations. Intuitive, easy to use Graphical User Interface. Noise modelling based on both natural (topographic) and man-made barriers. Georeferenced noise simulation plots for viewing directly in Google Earth. Great flexibility for the plot appearance settings. Proven, accurate noise level prediction results. dB Foresight can be used to provide the input required for assessment of noise impacts in the vicinity of any new facility, or upgrade is for planning, regulatory approvals or public consultations. The noise impact assessment can be used to guide the facility design or layout, to ensure that local noise level regulations are not exceeded. dB Foresight noise mapping software uses scientific principles to predict the sound levels on site and surrounding the facility. The software algorithms use the international standard ISO 9613 methodologies to predict noise levels. It calculates sound propagation in octave band A-weighted levels. The noise level prediction methodology considers geometric divergence, atmospheric damping, ground absorption, heights of sources and receptors, and screening from obstacles (building, barriers, berms, etc.). Noise attenuation due to both man-made and natural barriers due to the project area topography are considered. Proven, accurate noise level predictions, based on ISO-9613 standards.
