Best Practices

New sports, new technologies, new noise sources: the requirements for environmental noise assessment keep changing. In our Best Practices we use concrete application cases to show how you can reliably model, assess and document emerging noise sources with CadnaA noise prediction software.

Each Best Practice summarises the technical background, the relevant standards — such as ISO 9613 and CNOSSOS-EU — and the right approach, so you reach compliant results faster in planning, permitting and noise impact assessment. The collection keeps growing with new topics.

When the crack of the racket calls for a noise assessment

Padel and Pickleball are booming – whether it's an outdoor facility requiring planning approval or an indoor hall with noise issues for players and visitors: DataKustik has derived the missing emission values and integrated them into the calculation model.
