Excellent App
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.
Disappointed!!!
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
Not useful
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.
Great way to evaluate restaurants
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.
Didn't know I needed this
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.

Wanted to love this
Search function completely dysfunctional.
Love this app
I’m so glad I found this app. It’s impossible to find this info on the usual restaurant apps (like Yelp or TripAdvisor)
Good food. Great service
My fav time is 9:30 weekdays.
Easy and useful
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.
Fantastic Idea, a Must Have
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.

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.

Bluetooth
Having to turn off Bluetooth and then back on is a non-starter to using the app!
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!

Noise
I hope this app and follow up to management helps to reduce the noise in restaurants. For me, it’s a big problem when I can’t converse with my wife over dinner out.
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!
You're Using Notifications for ADS?
This app just sent me a hearing aid ad in the form of a system notification. This is a breach of my trust, and may be a beach of the iOS developer guidelines, too, which I will research in a minute. Bad idea, folks. Really bad idea.
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.
