SoundPrint, Find A Quiet Place

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Such a fantastic idea - I hope this catches on and businesses start taking note. Searching for places and taking new recordings are both straightforward. So cool!
