Soft dB is proud to introduce RAP-ONE version 5.7 (Room Acoustics Prediction
and Occupational Noise Exposure), an innovative and easy-to-use program
designed for analyzing and managing sound in industrial fields with acoustics consultants,
engineers, and industrial hygienists in mind.
RAP-ONE quickly and precisely determines sound levels
at every point in a room, the contribution of each sound
source to these points, and the noise dose perceived by workers.
Industrial Noise Analysis
All too often, noise reduction treatments are applied without producing
the expected results. With RAP-ONE, these problems are avoided since
the program evaluates the efficiency of a treatment
or of a treatment combination in real time before it is implemented.
Some questions that you probably have, and that RAP-ONE
can answer:
- What will the noise increase be if I add another machine?
- What will the impact of that new machine be on the noise doses
perceived by workers?
- What will the noise reduction be if I install a silencer on
a vacuum cleaner or if I add an acoustic treatment to the ceiling?
- How can I be sure my noise reduction process is well structured?
The evaluation of the performance of various possible treatments is simple;
Apply the acoustic treatments being considered for the room using the Absorbing
Panel or Acoustic Barrier tools, and then click on the Calculate
Noise Map button. The room’s new noise map displays the noise levels obtained
with the added treatments. A similar process can be applied to the
room’s noise sources (ex., adding a silencer).
Acoustical Room Design
- RAP-ONE can be used to improve the acoustics of performance
and art centers
- RAP-ONE is a powerful tool for improving the acoustic design of
any room type or size
- RAP-ONE rapidly and precisely determines the noise
levels at every location in a room, as well as the contribution
of every noise source at those locations
- RAP-ONE can do RT60 calculations (Reverberation Time)
- RAP-ONE can be used to improve the acoustics of a theater; i.e.,
identifying treatments applied to mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, heating, and ventilation systems
Other Acoustical Designs
RAP-ONE can also be used in many other applications related to acoustics or dealing with acoustics.
For example, RAP-ONE has been used in the acoustical design of the new BMW 3 series. Comments :
"I have now used the extended RAP-ONE software to model the spatial transfer functions between a moving omni directional
source and a fixed receiver at the tire contact patch around a simulated side profile of BMW 3 series. The results compared
very well with measurements taken in the BMW rolling (Semi Anechoic) road in Munich."
