SoundPrint

SoundPrint is a FREE app that helps you measure and share noise levels in public spaces like restaurants, bars, gyms, and stores. Using your phone’s microphone, it measures sound levels and lets you submit them to a growing database—kind of like Yelp, but for sound.

Why it matters

SoundPrint isn’t just a personal tool—it’s a collective resource. You can search local establishments and view noise-level rankings submitted by other users, giving you a heads-up before you even walk in the door. Whether you're sound-sensitive, protecting your hearing, or just want a peaceful meal, the app helps you plan ahead and advocate for quieter spaces.

How to use it

Just download the SoundPrint app, open it in any public space, and tap 'Start' to take a sound reading. If it feels too loud or pleasantly quiet, submit your measurement to help others make informed choices—and support sound-conscious communities. Need a quick walkthrough?
