  There has been tremendous progress in the degree of realism of
three-dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of the solar
atmosphere in the past decades. Four of the most frequently used numerical
codes are Bifrost, CO5BOLD, MANCHA3D, and MURaM. Here we test and compare the
wave propagation characteristics in model runs from these four codes by
measuring the dispersion relation of acoustic-gravity waves at various heights.
We find considerable differences between the various models. The height
dependence of wave power, in particular of high-frequency waves, varies by up
to two orders of magnitude between the models, and the phase difference spectra
of several models show unexpected features, including $\pm180^\circ$ phase
jumps.
