Noisecatcher

An electroacoustic instrument for acoustic justice

NOISECATCHER

Measure noise pollution. Understand its health consequences. Map it. Build evidence. Fight it — collectively, without a central server.

Measure

A-weighted SPL, Leq, psychoacoustics, and speech intelligibility — live, on your device, no account needed.

Map

GPS-tagged pins document noise sources at the location and moment they occur. Your data stays local.

Act

Generate formal complaint letters, WHO health-risk assessments, and GeoJSON exports for legal advocacy.

Live community pins — P2P network

Pins shared via Gun.js peer-to-peer — no central server, no account required. Sensitive category pins are never shared without explicit confirmation.

“You are not a user of this tool. You are its performer, its operator, its witness. When you measure sound, you name a condition. When you pin a location, you make an argument about space, power, and the right to a liveable acoustic environment.”
