Whether you're noise-sensitive, migraine-prone, neurodivergent, or just want a spot where you can actually hear your conversation, DeciBars gives you real decibel data and multi-dimensional vibe scores, not vague "atmosphere" stars. WHAT MAKES DECIBARS DIFFERENT: While Google Maps shows "usually busy" and Yelp gives vague atmosphere ratings, DeciBars gives you measured decibel levels, sensory-safety scores, and persona-filtered results. It's the only venue finder built for people who actually care about sound. KEY FEATURES Real Noise Estimates: Search any bar or restaurant and get an estimated decibel range backed by live busyness data, time-of-day patterns, crowd density, and event schedules, not guesses.

Venue Vibe Scores: Get 9 dimensions per venue — Quiet, Lighting, Space, Workability, ADHD/Autism, Migraine-friendly, Conversation, Outlets, and Seating — each scored and explained so you know exactly what to expect. Measure It Yourself: Use the built-in decibel meter to record real ambient noise on-site. Submit your measurement and contribute to the community comfort dataset with your sensitivity profile. Community-Driven Data: Real measurements and comfort ratings from users like you. Be the first to measure a venue, or build on what others have shared.

WHO IT'S FOR: • Remote workers who need quiet + outlets + WiFi • People with sensory sensitivities (ADHD, autism) • Migraine sufferers who need low-stimulation environments • Anyone who wants a venue where they can actually have a conversation DeciBars — find your comfortable spot.
