How to install SoundPLAN
To install SoundPLAN you must have the rights to write into the Windows registry.
Normally that means that you should log in as an Administrator or your user account
must give administrator’s privileges while you install.
Before you begin you must fix the hardloc/HASP key to a port on your PC, or – if you
run a network license – make sure the PC is connected to the server.
If you install from downloaded installation files or a SoundPLAN DVD, please make
sure you have your license file BABGxxxx/BABNxxxx saved on a location you can
browse to during the installation.
1) If you install from a SoundPLAN memory stick or a SoundPLAN DVD delivered by
your distributor, then click <autorun.exe> and point to ’noise’.
If you install from downloaded installation files, unzip the package, and click the exe-
file; do not unzip LFiles.zip. Then proceed with step 3).

2) If your operating system is 64 bit you will be asked to select between a 32 bit or 64 bit
installation. You can install both versions on the same harddisk, and projects prepared in
one version can be opened and continued in the other. Not all graphics cards on the
market can handle our 3D display in 64 bit. We therefore recommend that you install both
versions, so you always have 32 bit ready at hand, if a 3D display in 64 bit causes
troubles. Otherwise, you can in general work with our 64 bit version.
3) Select language to be used during the rest of the installation procedure:

4) You must agree to the conditions and in the next window pick the licensed version:
5) If you do not want a shortcut on your desktop you must remove the tick mark:

6) Pick a destination for the installation. It is strongly recommended that you keep the
proposed location:
7) After you have clicked ‘Install’ it might take a while before a new window appears, the
HASP driver is being installed, please wait until you are asked to proceed. For first time
SoundPLAN installations you will see the message below.

8) In the next window you must select language for the program itself, templates (for
table set up and graphic sheets), the libraries and the on-line help. The SoundPLAN
Libraries host an extended collection of sound power levels, directivity indexes, sound
reduction indexes etc. The data are organized in the System libraries of which there are
several languages to choose between. The English (without any country specification) and
the German libraries include with few exceptions the same records, pick at least one of
these. The Danish library contains a series of records which have acquired official status
in Denmark (approval from the Danish Environmental Protection Agency). Put a hook at
libraries you want to be available in your daily work with SoundPLAN. The System libs
are stored in the SoundPLAN 8.2 – program folder.
9) Now the installation procedure wants you to browse to the license file
BABGxxxx/BABNxxxx. If you have a previous version of SoundPLAN on the PC, the
installation procedure looks for the license file there. It might look like shown on top next
page.
Please note that if you have multiple programs open during the installation, the window
shown on top next page can be hidden by some of them. In that case you can toggle to the
window with Alt+Tab.
If you install from a SoundPLAN memory stick you will find the license file in the
folder Install SP > Win32/Win64 on the stick.

10) If you don’t want to receive information from the SoundPLAN producer you can
close this input mask with the red cross in the upper right corner and proceed (after a
while):
11) That completes the installation:

Downloading demo projects
12) It is recommended to have a readymade SoundPLAN project available at any time to
test functionality with data you know are OK. If you install from the DVD there are
several demo projects. If you install via an installation file you can load the demo projects
from SoundPLAN Manager > Help > Updates & Downloads. WinCity is an ‘all-round’
project with both traffic and industry noise (even licenses without all propagation
modules can run WinCity). Click Yes and key in a path to the location where you want
your demo projects to be stored. Remember to pick a location where you (the user!) have
(has) unlimited access. First a pdf-guide pops up:
SoundPLAN Nord ApS, Bakkevej 42, DK-5210 Odense NV, Denmark phone: +45 2946 1030 www.soundplan.dk JSJ@soundplan.dk CVR no.: 27 92 34 88

First launch:
13) When you launch SoundPLAN 8.2 for the first time you are asked where you want
your Globdata folder saved. This folder hosts your global colour scale, table formats,
templates etc. It can be saved anywhere where you have the rights to write, but for sure
you should not pick a location on your company network if you want to be able to run the
program off line. It is recommended that you keep the proposed location which is under
Documents.
If you have the previous version of SoundPLAN installed you will be offered to transfer
global settings from that version. If there is no previous version – which will be the case
when installing a trail version – this option is greyed out. If this is your first SoundPLAN
installation on your PC there is of course nothing to transfer, see inserted below.
Also, the default language settings must be defined. And finally you must decide if you
want the program to search for new updates automatically. If you leave out the tick mark
under ‘Automatic search for new updates’ you should manually look for updates (see
below).

14) Finally SoundPLAN is ready!
Downloading updates.
15) The steps above will install the SoundPLAN version from the DVD you have
received or you downloaded from the web. Most likely several updates have been
released since this version was compiled. The latest update can be downloaded from the
producer’s server at any time: Open the SP Manager, go to Help > Update & Downloads.
The latest update includes all previous updates.
SoundPLAN Nord ApS, Bakkevej 42, DK-5210 Odense NV, Denmark phone: +45 2946 1030 www.soundplan.dk JSJ@soundplan.dk CVR no.: 27 92 34 88

16) If a new update is available you will be offered to download it. Default the download
will be saved in the Globdata folder, but you can choose another destination.
Program updates, updates of system files (templates, library records, Help files) as well as
demo projects can be downloaded. Tick on each of the 3 index cards what you want to
download. The opening page shows the name/date of the available program update as
well as the version you are currently running together with the youngest update file you
have previously downloaded (but not necessarily installed). On the index card System
File Update you can see the date of the latest update and which files you have already
downloaded, if any.

Installing updates.
OBS! Installing updates takes administrator privileges
17) Once the download has completed an ‘Install Update(s)’ button appears at the bottom
of the window.
Depending on what you have downloaded you will be asked what you want to install, for
example new libraries. Those libraries already installed (selected during the installation of
SoundPLAN) will automatically be updated (default grayed out on the list of available
libraries) whereas additional items you now want to install must be ticked.
18) The program itself and the system files can be updated separately at any time. To
update the program, please browse to the relevant file SPUPDxxxxxx.exe in the
download folder and click it. Before you click OK it might be a good idea to look at the
bugfix under the Read me button.

It is possible to install an older update than the current one, but if you try you will see a
warning.
If you for some reason choose to postpone the installation of the downloaded system files,
libraries and Help files you can later on install these items via the menu ‘Update system
files’ under Help in the SoundPLAN Manager.
Getting started.
19) SoundPLAN is a very general application which can be adjusted to meet almost any
national requirements and guidelines. Consequently there are multiple parameters to
define and a lot of choices to pick from drop down lists etc etc. The very first thing you
must do in each job is to prepare the program for exactly those requirements and
guidelines you must fulfill. Below typical settings for a ‘Nordic’ project will be presented.

20) From the SoundPLAN Manager > Project > New you create a new project. In the top
line you decide where the project folder will be created/saved. It is crucial to pick a
location where you have all rights to write. The name in the second line is a folder name;
it is recommended to use only English letters here (whereas the title, number, engineer
and customer in the following lines are simple text strings in which you can use any
character). If you happen to know the coordinate system and reference system your
external data are created in you can define them here.

21) In the SoundPLAN Manager > Option > Settings put your curser on Standard
selection list and activate the relevant standards:
22) Select the relevant standards like shown below. Most likely the preselected
assessment record is not relevant for you. Click the button to the right of the drop down
button.

23) This will open the assessment libraries. In the System library put the cursor on the
relevant record, e. g. Lden, and copy it to the project library. Accept.
24) The Settings window will now show the correct selection.

25) Define the number of time slices relevant for your project:
Now SoundPLAN 8.2 is ready for your very first job.
Hint: If you define the default settings mentioned above under ‘Global’ instead of
‘Current project’ they will become your default settings in all future projects (but not for
the current project).
