Find a place where you can actually hear each other.
Quietful shows indicative loudness estimates by hour from community phone readings. Filter by noise, by whether you can work, and by the specific sounds you need to avoid.
No account will be needed to browse. Quietful is being built for private, indicative sound readings.
One average is not enough to plan an evening.
A room that reads 58 dB at 2pm can run 74 dB at 7pm. Quietful shows the range and the timing, so you can pick the venue and the hour together.
Look up a venue before you commit to it
Averages come from readings by people nearby. Tap a venue for its full range, its noisiest hours, and what people heard there.
Filter for the things a category listing ignores
Noise tier, whether there are outlets and how long you can stay, and named sound sources: loud music, clattering dishware, espresso grinder, hand dryers, kids’ play area, TV audio, and reverberation.
Add a reading in under a minute
Hold still while the phone samples the room, anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds, then submit it. Only the loudness is measured. No audio is recorded, stored or sent anywhere.
Loudness is one problem. A specific sound is another.
For some people, a specific sound matters independently of overall loudness. Quietful records sound sources separately from loudness, and venues reported with the triggers you name are hidden from your results.
The map only works because people fill it in.
Every reading is a sample of 15 to 60 seconds, taken by someone sitting where you would sit. The monthly goal is five readings. The contribution goal resets monthly; lifetime totals and earned badges remain.

Ask about venue launch to see your own noise trends by hour and day, and what people report hearing. If the readings point to the room rather than the crowd, we can refer you to an acoustic-treatment consultant.

The microphone runs only while you are taking a reading, and only the loudness is measured. No audio is recorded, stored or sent anywhere. Your sensory trigger list is kept on your device and is not shared with venues or other people.
