Acoustic simulation is a deficit in first-class CAD packages.

That's probably more of a feature than a bug since they have different purposes and different. That said, there are a variety of acoustics simulation (including auralization) software designed to be used with CAD packages, included EASE/EASERA, CATT Acousics, Bose Modeler, BASTIAN, SONarchitect and so on.

These packages aren't at a point where they can be used by non-acoustics experts which is probably why they aren't integrated directly into CAD software (although I remember reading once about an auralization package for AutoCAD, but I can't find it right now) due to limitations in the algorithms that might be ignored by folks that don't know acoustics.
