Welcome to the Sound Mapping Tools Users Group.

Sound Mapping Tools is an ArcGIS toolbox designed to provide free, spatially-explicit tools for modeling sound propagation across a landscape. Potential applications include assessing noise impacts from off-road vehicles, energy development, or traffic noise

People without a gmail address or with a government address (whether administered by gmail or not) may have difficulty subscribing to the Users' Group. One solution to this problem is to register for a free gmail account and to access the users' group with that. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we have not found a satisfactory (free) solution to this problem.

We strongly recommended that you read the README.txt included with the toolbox. It contains a list of known issues, and you should seriously consider these issues before using the toolbox for real applications.

The license under which you are permitted to use Sound Mapping Tools is given in README.txt
