By using this curated Quiet List, please pay it forward by: (1) Making at least 5 submissions monthly with the app, or (2) Spread the word by sharing this link, blurb or one pager You may use this list to discover quiet venues, but not to distribute or replicate for business purposes without written permission. Please send suggested Quieter venues to be included on this list here Disclaimers: SoundPrint measures the approximate decibel level and is not a replacement for a professional sound level measuring device. The dBA numbers displayed on the iPhone app and the website are averages of all the historical SoundChecks measured and submitted to the database. These SoundCheck dBA numbers are historical and thus are a reasonable guess as to what the specific venue’s sound level are and will be in the future. There is no guarantee that the average dBA displayed is or will be the actual noise level in the future. It is SoundPrint’s policy to only list Quieter venues – we do not specifically name or call out louder venues as our goal is to work with and not against the louder venues.
