AcoustaPlot assesses railway noise using the recognised CRN method where Defra mapping is absent, and works out whether the line or a road governs the noise at your specific address.
How AcoustaPLOT assesses noise for your property in Woking
AcoustaPLOT geocodes your property, identifies the nearest and dominant source, and estimates the daytime (Lden) and night-time (Lnight) levels at your facade — reading Defra's mapped value where available, or calculating it with the CRTN (road) and CRN (railway) methods and terrain data elsewhere.
