Experiences

Revolutionary

After having used other software for EN 12354 calculations for many years, it has been a revelation to change to SONarchitect. The possibility of being able to calculate whole buildings with the correct room geometries and junctions selections, all in one working process has reduced calculation uncertainty, made optimisation of building constructions more effective, and given added value for our clients.

On-board extra modules giving the possibility of calculating single and multi-layer constructions as data input to the EN 12354 calculations is a welcome addition, and as it is integrated in the same program, the transition of data between modules is quick and easy.

We have used SONArchitect ISO on a variety of projects including housing, hotels, teaching facilities, offices and industrial buildings and the possibility of making specific requirements for each project type is perfect.

Although a great program - as it does a great deal more and better than other software for EN 12354 calculations - our feedback concerning possible new features has always been appreciated and taken seriously. The staff at SoundOfNumbers have been extremely helpful, quick and highly professional responding to questions and suggestions for further developments.

Discover SONarchitect

Airborne and impact noise

With SONarchitect ISO you can compute all the sound insulation values in one-third octave bands in the entire building according to ISO EN 12354:1,2,3,4,6. Results are detailed for every enclosure, separator, flank, and transmission path, and can be interactively explored..

Room specs

You can identify at any time the enclosures of any floor, and tell SONarchitect the use of each room in the building. This determines the aplicable legislation limits to verify the building compliance. Room identification and use can be changed at any time, before or after the computation, without any additional hassle.

Outdoor noise map

SONarchitect ISO computes the noise emission maps from any noisy room in your building, according to EN 12354-4 Annex E

Specify a custom indoor noise spectrum and get the L2n in the adjacent rooms and from the façade.

Report generator

Print the results you want and the way you want. SONarchitect provides a flexible report generator. Add your enterprise logo, select a cover image with the 3D model of your building, get a bill of quantities for your budget estimations, include a compliance statement, show the quality classification of your building, detail every computation result including components and transmission paths. Or none of them. You can select individual rooms or let SONarchitect select only the worst cases: Yes, indeed, you have computed the acoustic insulation in the entire building, therefore you know they really are the worst!

Auralization 3D

Get a subjective experience of the acoustic performance of your building with the auralisation engine, directly accessed from the result tree. Play one of the built-in tracks or your own recordings in any room of your choice and hear how they would sound in the adjacent rooms compared to the emitter room. You only need a good pair of headphones. Take a walk around the 3D environment and feel the differences thanks to the binaural audio processing.

Who we are

Sound of Numbers

 

Why Sound of Numbers?

The sound can be described in many ways, from music scores to bit streams and, because of our job, we are used to see the sound as a rich field of numbers. Do not underestimate the power of numbers! When sound is portrayed as numbers it reveals many of its secrets and things which may seem impossible can be worked out. But, of course, to achieve this the language of numbers must be spoken. And we are experts in numbers!

We are a team of coders, researchers and engineers specialized in acoustic research, numerical modelling and computational geometry.

 

The team

Sound of Numbers is a bunch of acoustic and computer science engineers. The acoustic engineering company Sonen is a stakeholder of the company.
