What are the common sound simulation software used in sound architecture?

Some common sound simulation software used in sound architecture are:

1. Acoustics Simulator: This software predicts the propagation of sound in a given environment and provides data on sound pressure levels, reverberation times, and intelligibility.

2. CATT-Acoustic: This software tool is used for acoustic design of rooms and buildings. It helps to predict the acoustical behavior and allows users to make adjustments to optimize the acoustic performance.

3. Odeon: This software is designed for simulating and analyzing room acoustics. It uses ray tracing techniques to calculate the behavior of sound waves in a given room.

4. EASE (Enhanced Acoustic Simulator for Engineers): This software helps to design and optimize sound systems for auditoriums, theaters, and other large venues. It provides a 3D model of the space and allows users to simulate the sound distribution and loudspeaker placement.

5. SoundPlan: This software is a predictive tool for outdoor noise mapping and analysis. It allows users to model the effects of noise from transportation, industrial, and other sources on the environment.
