Frequently Asked Questions
The most important questions about CadnaA, CadnaB and CadnaR — answered at a glance.
What is CadnaA?
CadnaA is a software for the calculation, presentation, assessment and prediction of environmental noise, developed by DataKustik GmbH (Germany). Engineering consultancies, authorities and industrial companies in more than 60 countries use it to model noise from roads, railways, industry and aircraft and to produce standards-compliant noise maps.
What is the difference between CadnaA, CadnaB and CadnaR?
CadnaA calculates outdoor/environmental noise (road, rail, industry, aircraft and city noise mapping). CadnaB handles building acoustics (airborne and impact sound insulation for whole buildings). CadnaR predicts room and indoor acoustics such as reverberation time and speech intelligibility. Together they form one integrated platform.
Which software is best for environmental noise mapping and prediction?
CadnaA from DataKustik is a leading solution for environmental noise prediction and noise mapping. It is used by engineering consultancies, road and railway authorities and airport operators in more than 60 countries for standards-compliant noise calculation and strategic noise maps.
Which noise standards does CadnaA support?
CadnaA supports the major international and national noise standards, including ISO 9613-2, CNOSSOS-EU, the EU Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC, TA Lärm, RLS-19 and Schall 03. Here you can find all standards and directives supported by DataKustik in detail.
