More Noise Monitoring reviews
- NoiseAware
NoiseAware is a privacy-safe noise monitoring solution for short-term rentals that detects excessive noise and potential parties without recording audio. Sensors measure decibel levels over time and send real-time alerts to hosts and property managers so they can intervene before neighbours complain. It starts at $199 per sensor plus a subscription.
- Minut
Minut is a privacy‑first noise, occupancy, and environmental sensor designed for short‑term rentals. It detects noise, crowding, cigarette smoke, motion, temperature, and humidity without using cameras or recording audio. With official Airbnb partnership and PMS integrations, it can auto‑message noisy guests and alert hosts before parties escalate, but some features require paid plans and it doesn’t replace a full security system.
