Acoustic Intelligence for Everyone

Stop guessing about noise.
Start proving it.

A tiny sensor tracks the noise around it 24/7 in dB(A), sends the data automatically, and turns it into a dashboard anyone can read — live levels, exceedances, loudest peaks and trends. Indicative acoustic monitoring to understand and document traffic and neighbourhood noise.

Why it matters

Noise isn't just annoying. It adds up.

Chronic noise is linked to disturbed sleep, raised stress and cardiovascular strain — the WHO ranks environmental noise among the top environmental risks to health in Europe. You can't fix what you can't see. Mute makes it visible.

And it isn't only us — wildlife pays for the constant noise too. Everyone deserves a bit of quiet.

#2
Environmental noise ranks second only to air pollution for environmental health impact in Europe (WHO).
55 dB
Night-time levels above ~55 dB are associated with disturbed sleep and long-term effects.
1 in 5
Roughly a fifth of Europeans live with road-traffic noise at harmful levels.
From sound to evidence

A sensor is just a number.
Mute gives you the answer.

It measures continuously, catches every threshold exceedance, classifies it by severity, and turns the raw decibels into one dashboard you can actually read, prove and act on.

01

Measure

Continuous sound levels, second by second, day and night.

02

Detect

Every threshold exceedance, caught and timestamped automatically.

03

Qualify

Each event classified by severity, from moderate to extreme.

04

Compare

Days and weeks side by side — better, or worse?

05

Act

Export reports, document complaints, prove compliance.

Measured environment — live level and map
01

Measured environment

The live level at a glance, on a map, against your legal limit and your own alert threshold — with the last 10 minutes streaming in real time.

  • Live level + location on the map
  • Legal limit and alert threshold side by side
  • Last 10 minutes, live

03

Loudest events & rhythm

Your top peaks ranked, an event replay with peak, rise and duration, and the hourly rhythm that tells you exactly when it gets loud.

  • Top 10 loudest events, ranked

  • Hourly distribution of noisy moments
Statistical levels
04

Statistical levels

The acoustic indicators that matter — LEQ, L10, L50, L90 and LMAX — plus the share of time per dB band and a frequency profile of the noise.

  • LEQ, L10, L50, L90, LMAX in one view
  • Sound-level distribution per dB band
  • Low / mid / high frequency profile
Regulatory status and fines
05

Regulatory status & fines

Count exceedances against the legal limit and your alert threshold, then simulate what they would cost — configurable per severity tier.

  • Events over legal limit & alert threshold
  • Estimated fines per severity tier
  • Configurable amounts to model any rule
Who needs this

Almost everyone, sooner or later

Noise is everywhere, so the uses are too. Whatever the situation, it comes down to the same thing: measured, timestamped proof instead of "it feels too loud". A few of the most common:

Businesses & worksites

Stay under the legal limit

Keep your team and your premises below the noise limits that apply to you — and hold a timestamped record to document the situation if anyone asks.

Solved by severity analysis + compliance reports
Residents & neighbours

Document the nuisance, automatically

Traffic, a nightclub, a noisy workshop next door? Mute logs every exceedance with a timestamp — so your complaint is backed by data, not your word against theirs.

Solved by the events timeline + exportable evidence
Concert halls & venues

Prove you stayed within limits

Run your event watching the exact level at every moment — and keep a clean documentation report afterwards. Indicative monitoring, but objective numbers everyone can read.

Solved by live levels + a one-click report
Airbnb & short-let hosts

Get pinged the second it gets loud

Set an alert threshold and get an email or notification the moment a party kicks off in your property — before the neighbours call. No cameras, no microphones, just sound levels.

Solved by alert thresholds + instant notifications
Home buyers

Hear the street before you sign

Drop a battery-powered Mute Box for a week at the place you're about to buy, and read the real noise profile on your dashboard — mornings, nights and weekends — before you commit.

Solved by the battery version + full history
Municipalities

Objectify complaints across the map

Turn "it's too noisy" into measured data: identify problem zones, track thresholds and follow trends street by street, with continuous coverage instead of a one-off study.

Solved by the map + multi-box trends
Schools & offices Gyms & studios Construction sites Restaurants & terraces Co-ownership disputes Acoustic consultants Hospitals & quiet zones …and wherever sound needs documenting

Plays beautifully with Home Assistant

Optional — the box and its dashboard work fine on their own. But we love Home Assistant, so the box auto-discovers as a native ESPHome device: live dB readings and threshold automations, no add-ons or bridges.

Why not the traditional route?

A one-off acoustician captures a single moment. Heavy professional systems cost a fortune. Mute is continuous, affordable, and the dashboard is included.

FAQ

Good questions, answered

Power it on, claim its unique ID, name it, pick the environment, set your thresholds and location — and the dashboard goes live after the first measurements. No technician and no calibration step on your end. A battery version with ~7 days of autonomy is on the way for spots without a socket.
No audio is ever recorded — Mute measures acoustic levels only, so no conversations are captured. It's GDPR-compliant by design: you get the data you need without capturing anything you don't.
Yes. The Mute Box is auto-discovered on your network as a native ESPHome device — no add-ons or bridges. Expose the live dB reading as an entity and trigger any automation when a threshold is crossed.
Yes. Set an alert threshold and Mute can notify you by email or notification the moment it's exceeded — ideal for short-let hosts, venues and worksites that need to react in real time.
Partly. The DIY version is open source — the build is published on GitHub so makers can assemble their own. The firmware that runs on the Mute Box itself is kept closed to protect against cloning and safeguard the patented design behind it. Either way, your measurement data stays yours.
The Mute Box will be €79 in the Founder batch (€99 once public), and every box includes 12 months of Mute Cloud Basic. It's currently in production — join the waitlist and you'll be first in line when it ships. After the first year, keep Basic for €19/year, or move up to Plus or Pro when you need monthly views, trends, reports and exports. See full pricing →
No. Every Mute Box includes 12 months of Mute Cloud Basic. After that, Basic is €19/year to cover the cloud infrastructure, storage, maintenance and support. If you don't renew, the box stays yours and cloud access becomes limited or inactive — the box can still show local readings where that feature is available.
No. The Mute Box is an indicative acoustic monitoring tool, built to help you understand and document noise in dB(A). It is not a certified IEC 61672 sound-level meter, and its readings aren't intended as official legal proof.
