Acoustical Planning
For an emergency siren system to be effective, precise placement of sirens is essential to maximize warning coverage. Our team, supported by its experienced acoustical engineers, specializes in acoustic planning and the evaluation of extensive data to develop the optimal siren system in close collaboration with the client. To achieve comprehensive siren coverage, various factors are considered, including background noise levels, topography, structural obstructions such as buildings, siren type and configuration, output power, elevation height, and overall coverage area. Many of these parameters can be assessed through a detailed site survey. The collected data serves as the foundation for noise mapping and acoustical analysis, where individual noise sources and activity levels are systematically compiled and processed using a calculation engine to generate a range of noise metrics.

Data Presentation
The computations adhere to ISO 9613-2 standards and are performed using SoundPlan, a globally recognized program for acoustic analysis. SoundPlan enables graphical representation of calculation and analysis results, utilizing color-coded visuals to depict sound propagation in relation to background noise and other key parameters. This approach aids in identifying potential weak areas in the warning siren system’s sound coverage.
