## What is SoundPrint, Find A Quiet Place?

Want to find your quiet place in a restaurant, bar, coffee shop or venue where you can actually hear your date, colleague, or partner? SoundPrint’s own decibel (noise) meter allows you to measure the loudness of the venue and submit (crowdsource) that data to the database. You then can search for venues based on how quiet or noisy they are. 

Features 
+ Measure and submit the decibel, sound, or noise level of a venue 
+ Search for venues based on their noise level (i.e. quiet, moderate, or noisy)
+ Simple to use 
+ Help practice safe hearing health 
+ Wide international coverage
+ Apple Watch/Healthkit integration to analyze your atmospheric noise data on the submissions screen (Apple Watch users only)

Please note that SoundPrint is not a replacement for a professional device and should be used for general sound measurement purposes only as it measures the approximate decibel level.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-05-30, version 4.1*

I suffer from severe tinnitus, and it’s always been a problem finding relatively quiet places to go out for meals. This app has been extremely helpful and easy to use. I’ve made several noise level submissions myself.

### 2/5 — Disappointed!!!

*2025-11-04, version 4.1*

A lot of the restaurants posted are no longer in business while existing restaurants are not even listed. I’m not referring to new restaurants but like ones that have been around. Olive Garden? SIGH

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2025-10-15, version 4.1*

The app hasn’t been updated in years. The location list has businesses that have closed for over 10 years and is missing popular destinations. Half have no noise information and those that do have 2 or less measurements over several years. This was great idea that just didn’t pan out.

### 5/5 — Great way to evaluate restaurants

*2025-05-12, version 4.1*

I detest going into restaurants that are extremely noisy regardless of circumstances. It’s nice to be able to see other restaurants have been evaluated so you can know where to go and at least have a quiet evening.

### 5/5 — Didn't know I needed this

*2025-04-25, version 4.1*

This app is simple and fairly well streamlined. I've had no problems with it. It is easy to use and generates an accurate measurement of decibels in one's environment.
You can also submit the results to SoundPrint.

### 1/5 — Wanted to love this

*2025-03-05, version 4.1*

Search function completely dysfunctional.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-03-02, version 4.1*

I’m so glad I found this app. It’s impossible to find this info on the usual restaurant apps (like Yelp or TripAdvisor)

### 5/5 — Good food. Great service

*2025-02-05, version 4.1*

My fav time is 9:30 weekdays.

### 4/5 — Easy and useful

*2025-01-23, version 4.1*

Love this app and look forward to more people using it so we can collectively advocate for restaurants where you can enjoy dinner and conversation.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Idea, a Must Have

*2025-01-04, version 4.1*

The creators of Soundprint have performed a huge public service — making dining out bearable. It may be the best restaurant-related app I have ever downloaded. I have others that help with reviews, reservations or takeout, but this is the first one to reliably tell me whether I am going to be able to have a civilized conversation over dinner.

It enables you to spend your dining dollars wisely and not waste them on an expensive, cacophonous ordeal.

It shows whether a restaurant will be quiet, moderately noisy, loud or very loud and has a “Quiet List” of the best places.  I am weary of going out for what is supposed to be a pleasant meal but which ends up being an assault on the ear drums. These experiences leave me with laryngitis and a feeling of disappointment in humanity for putting up with such restaurants. With this app, it won’t happen again.

It also allows users to use their phones to measure decibel levels at a venue, rate the ease of conversation, and submit this data. 

I’m hoping as many people as possible will sign up and submit noise ratings so I will know where to dine and so that the civilized restaurants in my area will enjoy more patronage.
