To describe the noise conditions in larger areas, noise calculation software is usually required to calculate a noise map. The calculation may be based on real or assumed activity. The noise maps are used, e.g. by governmental authorities in relation to area development plan, or in planning existing or future activities such as road, railway, airports and industry.

SINTEF ICT has for several decades worked with development of calculation models and computer software for the production of noise maps. Examples of such software is NORTIM for calculation of noise in the vicinity of airports, and Milstøy for calculation of noise from military activities.
