Soundscape

The Seattle Seahawks set a Guinness World Record for crowd roar in 2013, recording a 137.6 decibel reading.
Permanent hearing damage can occur after only less than 30 seconds of exposure at this level.

OVERVIEW

104 million individuals in the US are at risk of hearing loss, heart attacks, and other noise-related health effects.

- National Institute of Health

Problem

15% of Americans between the ages of 20 and 69 experience hearing loss that may have been caused by noise at work or during leisure activities.
Studies on the health consequences of noise have indicated that noise elevates heart rate, blood pressure, vasoconstriction, and stress hormone levels.
Meditation produces long-lasting changes in brain activity.
Areas involved in attention, working memory, learning, and conscious perception are improved.

Solution

Soundscape will constantly monitor, track, and display sound exposure. By allowing users to see objective data on the sounds in their life they can then make conscious decisions regarding their personal analysis.
