SoundPrint

Greg, the founder and who is hearing-impaired, had great difficulty hearing his dates in NYC’s notorious loud bars and restaurants.

He searched and searched and searched online for quiet spots and got frustrated as venues would advertise themselves as quiet or moderate, but were often very noisy due to interior design, loud background music or lack of sound-proofing material.

He began keeping a personal database of venue sound levels (both quiet and noisy) for future dates and shared the information with friends.

Word got around and communities for the hearing impaired, the blind, autism, and those who simply like quiet spots started asking for the database to be crowd-sourced and available to all.

And…SoundPrint was born!
