SoundPLAN supports and complies with changes that have been proposed to ISO/TR 17534-3:2015, which relates to acoustics software for the calculation of sound outdoors.
SoundPLAN noise offers new module (Room Acoustics) with the following features:
- The user is now able to calculate a room response and derive Room Acoustical parameters such as reverberation time, speech intelligibility index (STI), early decay time, and many more.
- Full support for automatic evaluation of rooms according to ISO 3382:3, E VDI 2569 and DIN 18041.
- Auralization (model and simulate the acoustics of a room and assess the impact of any proposed acoustics-related improvements. The user is able to hear how the room sounds).

- Complete revision of the Geo-Database
- Multiple bitmaps can now be displayed simultaneously
- Emissions of individual noise types can be switched off during a calculation
- Increased speed of grid map calculations
- The measuring tape object can now be saved and displayed in the Graphics
- New “Results Manager” in the Graphics
- Improvement in Auralisation
SoundPLANessential 5.1
- Now compatible with NoizCalc (d&b audiotechnik);
- The adaptation of Building Acoustics to new versions of the DIN ISO 12345-3:2017 standard.
- Advanced interface to Google Maps/ OpenStreetMap for elevation and geometry import.
- Bridges for roads and railways can be taken into account in propagation calculations.
- Line and area sound sources as well as for parking lots height definitions can be specified to follow the terrain.
- Time correction calculator and mean propagation table for industrial noise sources.
- CNOSSOS-EU for road, railway and industry with all currently known variants (Germany (BUB), Austria (RVE, ÖAL 28)).
- Israeli Railway Directive (based on the American FRA Directive).
- Projects edited in SoundPLANessential can now be easily transferred to SoundPLANnoise.
