Software for Immission Protection

We are the leading software companies in the field of acoustics. Our focus is the ongoing development of our software systems for the calculation of noise outdoors (CadnaA), for the assessment of sound distribution indoors (CadnaR) and for the calculation of sound transmission between rooms (CadnaB). Our Software is used by governmental agencies, airports, road and railway authorities, international industrial enterprises as well as by leading consulting companies around the world.


State-of-the-art
noise prediction software

Environmental noise

CadnaA is the leading software for the calculation, presentation, assessment and prediction of environmental noise.

The building acoustics
planning system

Building acoustics

CadnaB is the software to calculate airborne and impact sound transmission between rooms for an entire building including airborne sound transmission from and to the exterior.

Prediction of sound
inside rooms

Indoor acoustics

CadnaR is the powerful software for the calculation and assessment of sound inside rooms and at workplaces.

One platform, three tools, effortless integration!

By combining CadnaA,CadnaR, and CadnaB, you utilize the capabilities of a fully integrated sound calculation. This includes outdoor sound propagation up to the building façade, transmission through the wall construction into a room, and further propagation through various rooms. The CadnaA/B/R software system is currently the only system capable of performing this task within a single software platform.

  • CadnaA: calculation of noise outdoors.

  • CadnaB: sound transmission through façade elements.

  • CadnaR: Calculation of sound indoors.

Starting from any exterior scenario with sources such as roads, railways or industry, CadnaA calculates the noise levels at the front of the facades of the CadnaB building object. CadnaB building is the link between both programs and can be also a source when the calculation goes from indoors to outdoors.
The noise levels calculated at the facades in CadnaA are automatically synced in CadnaB. Then, CadnaB determines the transmission through the wall based on building acoustic properties including selected constructions, doors or windows.
CadnaR is used to calculate the level at the receiving room considering the real position of sources, receivers and obstacles. The transmission through the wall is calculated based on the building acoustic properties defined in CadnaB.

We develop software for environmental protection

We are proud to be considered as one of the leading developers of software for immission protection. Our products for the calculation and prediction of environmental noise, interior sound and air pollutant distribution as well as for building acoustics are state-of-the-art. The main objective of our work is the implementation of the noise propagation theory into easy-to-use software. Therefore, one of the most valued advantages of our programs is their high usability and flexibility, while the existence of sophisticated tools and options allow to handle any complex project. These are key points to the successful application of our software worldwide.

More about our products

Another key aspect of our work is our ongoing research and consulting at both national and international levels. We develop and refine noise calculation methods and standards by participating in international working groups, and we adapt our calculation procedures for use in different software environments.

More about our company

Not least, DataKustik is committed to democratizing noise mapping and interior sound software. One of our most important activities here is the continuous training and education of professionals – from users of our software to consultancy firms and acoustics departments in public administration, across every field of acoustics. Beyond that, we collaborate with leading universities worldwide to train the acoustics experts of tomorrow.
