Very helpful for finding quieter places
This app is helpful for finding quieter places to eat & drink, which makes it easier to have conversations with friends and family.
And the more sound measurements people submit, the easier it gets.

Unbelievably useful. Must have!
As someone who no longer can stand extremely noisy pubs or restaurants which happens to be the case in really popular London venues...I am soo happy to find this app so I can go on a business meeting or with a friend or..a date, in a place where at least we don't have to shout at each other and we can relax our minds and thus bodies from the ever hectic life.
Also for neuro divergent people who are just perceiving sounds differently, this is a game changer.
UI and content needs to become a bit better but functionality is it there and that rocks💖

LOVE concept! Categories need clarification and user correction
I’m enjoying the ability to find places near me where I can focus!
Feedback: Some of your categories are too vague, such as “park and library”. Can you split these categories in two? Also, please give users the ability to submit something about a location in the wrong category. For example I found 2 restaurants under parks & library in my first 5 mins.

Wonderful! Tell everyone!!
I LOVE SoundPrint!! I tell everyone about SoundPrint and share it all the time. The more people who know the calmer our world can be in the places where we socialize.
SoundPrint has changed how I think about going out for food or drinks or even just shopping.
It has helped me to make better connections with friends and family and even helped me select a place to have a job interview.
THANK YOU for creating an app that does community sourced research on noise!

Great idea, needs more participants!
This app is such a great resource. I regularly eat with folks who are sensitive to loud spaces, so being able to search by noise level is a blessing. I try to make sure to take a sound check at every restaurant I visit to help expand the data, and I encourage everyone to do the same!
Doesn't seem to work on new iPhone Pro
I can't get the sound listening function to start on the app. Even trying to send an email to the helpdesk on their app. Doesn't want to activate.
Fantastic idea
I am hard of hearing and don’t go to restaurants much because they are loud and I can’t engage in conversation. Some places actually hurt. To have a guide that is created by users and real data is enormously helpful, particularly when traveling. I hope this will catch on to the point of getting restaurants and bars to reduce noise in their establishments. To do so, we need more adopters.

Amazing idea, could be improved
I really love that this app exists. The app now separated out decibel measurements by the time of day that they were taken, which is incredibly useful. Less helpfully, the search function is pretty dysfunctional. Finally, the actual sound measurement doesn’t always seem accurate (one time I was taking a measurement in a quiet coffee shop when a small child suddenly started screaming in delight – and there was no impact whatsoever on the decibels.) I think that that becomes less of an issue with more readings, as errors get averaged out, but heads up.

It feels good to be heard
Noise pollution is a well documented issue in today’s society. Prolonged exposure to 80 Decibels or higher can have lasting effects on the human nervous system. I’m glad this app allows people to find more noise conscious establishments to patronize.
Wildly Inaccurate
The idea behind this app is an excellent one, and desperately needed. But it doesn’t measure accurately. Either it’s programmed to ignore human voice frequencies, or smartphone microphones can’t do the job. SoundPrint consistently “measured” a man yelling at the top of his lungs into a loudspeaker as quieter than an air conditioner. It repeatedly told me that the inaudible click of my home button was TWICE as loud as the man yelling into the loudspeaker! It’s clearly drastically off and miscalibrated, to the point of uselessness. The submissions also only record average decibels, not the maximum. This can help if it recorded you sniffling or sneezing at 90 dB, but it makes records of loud but intermittent noise totally useless. The restaurant ratings are a perfect example: “quiet “ restaurants are still way too loud for anyone with a sensitivity disability, which are the people who need this app the most. I don’t expect miracles from a free app, but I expect SOME functionality.
