    Hi Catherine,

    You change it in the usual way. It's just a list of 8 numbers. The default is 120 dB at each of the 8 octave bands, 63 Hz. through 8kHz.

    You can either right-click it and mouse down to 'Set Multiple Numbers'. You can also use a number module, and set 8 numbers in it, and then connect it to the 'P' input.

    Hope this helps.

    Arthur

    Hello Arthur! Is there a Way to use the tool for Urban design? Using different sources and receivers for Block massing design through noise level optimisation or anything in the urban scale? Can you recommend a tool or process for approaching urban massing through noise input in general?

    I simulated a classroom with identical geometry and material settings, but the simulation results are not accurate and deviate significantly. I would appreciate any help or suggestions to improve this.
