Geonoise Academy

Advanced SoundPLAN Training (2 days)

Once you can build a model, what is left is how fast you build it and how well the result survives scrutiny. This course goes deep on data handling in the Geo-Database with the Attribute Explorer, new industrial source definitions and Expert Industry, directivity input, and the advanced graphics used to communicate a result to management and to a regulator. An example dataset is provided and used throughout.

Format and duration: 2 days · Builds on real working use of SoundPLAN · An example project dataset is used throughout
Who it is for: SoundPLAN users who have completed the basic training or already work with the software, and want more speed and more defensible output.

FAQ

Do I need the basic course first?

You should have it, or at least real working time in SoundPLAN. This course does not re-lay the foundations.

What will I use immediately?

The two things attendees rate highest are the Attribute Explorer, which removes a great deal of manual data editing, and the difference map, which puts before-and-after mitigation in a single picture.

Can you run it in-house for our team?

Yes, and it usually pays from about three users upward, because we can use one of your own projects as the working dataset.
