Better sounding buildings with Treble’s Hybrid Simulation Engine
Treble’s innovative hybrid sound engine combines wave-based methods and geometrical acoustics, offering unmatched precision and scalability for building acoustic simulations.
Wave-based precision
For low to mid frequencies, Treble employs wave-based modeling rooted in Finite Element Methods (FEM), directly solving the wave equation. This approach captures complex phenomena like diffraction, interference, and low-frequency resonance, delivering superior accuracy for critical spaces such as concert halls, studios, and performance venues.
Geometrical acoustics
For mid to high frequencies, Treble utilizes phased geometrical acoustics, efficiently modeling reflections, scattering, and ray-based interactions. This method is ideal for large-scale environments like airports, open-plan offices, and public spaces, balancing computational speed with fidelity.
Fully fledged acoustics design and analysis platform
Treble’s Acoustic Simulation Platform combines scientific precision with intuitive usability, redefining workflows in building acoustic design. By leveraging a hybrid engine that seamlessly blends wave-based modeling for low to mid frequencies with geometrical acoustics for high frequencies, Treble ensures real-world accuracy across the entire audible spectrum. This precision minimizes design risks, eliminates overdesign, and delivers reliable results for any project scale.
Efficiency, collaboration, and scalability
The platform revolutionizes efficiency by automating geometry processing, integrating directly with BIM and 3D modeling tools, and enabling cloud-based simulations that reduce design cycles. It fosters collaboration through shared asset libraries, real-time project sharing, and instant, immersive auralizations, allowing teams and stakeholders to refine designs with clarity and confidence. Scalable for any project size—from small rooms to vast complexes—Treble transforms acoustics into a seamless and indispensable aspect of modern design.
