Seiche

Seiche (pronounced see-ch or say-ch) is an open-source application for rendering and analyzing acoustical properties of 3D spaces via design meshes.

Seiche is an open-source application for rendering and analyzing acoustical properties of 3D spaces. It is inspired by PyRoomAcoustics, a Python library for simulating acoustics.

Mission Statement

Seiche has two missions:

  1. Make room acoustics design accessible and intuitive for designers via open-source software.
  2. Connect people passionate about designing for the auditory sense, from both the technical and the creative sides.

By accomplishing these missions, we hope to increase the usage of acoustic tools in the design community and make light of sound as a necessary consideration for future spaces.

Get Involved & Contributing

Contributing to Seiche

We are always accepting external contributions! We're looking for users who are interested in contributing code (GUI and app functionality) and/or material coefficients (for a public database).

Issues

The Issues tab on GitHub contains a running list of features to implement, as well as any bugs or problems that arise from development. For further details and discussions, please join our Discord server.

Materials Database

We're also looking to expand our project into an open-source database of material coefficients. In the future, we want users to be able to drag-and-drop materials on different surfaces to improve the simulation process.
