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.

SoundPrint FAQ
Is SoundPrint free?
Yes, SoundPrint is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is SoundPrint legit?
🤔 The SoundPrint app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Everyone should use this app! So we can get a lot of data.
As an audiologist I recommend everyone who loves to visit restaurants and other public places to meet friends and family to use this app. If we all collect data we build in our best overview of places where it is nice to visit for best talks without shouting to each other.
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!
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.
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.
