NoiseModelling User Guide

This is the official NoiseModelling User Guide.

NoiseModelling is a library capable of producing noise maps of cities. This tool is almost compliant with the CNOSSOS-EU standard method for the noise emission (only road traffic) and noise propagation. It can be freely used either for research and education, as well as by experts in a professional use.

A general overview of the model (September 2020) can be found at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1-niMT9cYE&t=1s

This plugin is distributed under GPL 3 license and is developed by the DECIDE team of the Lab-STICC (CNRS) and by the Mixt Research Unit in Environmental Acoustics UMRAE (Ifsttar).
