d&b audiotechnik has announced the availability of NoizCalc 4.0 software, the latest version of its advanced simulation tool designed to accurately predict noise arising from outdoor events equipped with d&b systems.
Version 4.0 features a range of enhancements over previous versions, including a new Graphical User Interface and an optimised workflow to ensure an accessible and intuitive user experience. Among the enhancements are greater similarity and alignment with ArrayCalc and the R1 remote control software, so users of those tools will immediately find themselves in a familiar environment, without too steep a learning curve.
NoizCalc enables proactive noise management in advance of an event. Using system data from d&b ArrayCalc project files, along with geodata from Google Maps and OpenStreetMap, the software calculates a grid noise map, which accurately predicts any potential noise issues in the surrounding neighbourhood. NoizCalc allows the user to identify, at the design stage, any potential noise issues – the advantage being that these can then be dealt with proactively, in advance of the production being set up.
