The Origin
"I moved into an apartment that looked right on paper — good neighborhood, reasonable price, solid reviews. I signed a 12-month lease. Move-in day, I discovered the building was acoustically uninhabitable. Stomping above me, voices through the walls, every footstep from the neighbor. There was no score, no signal, no way I could have known before I signed. That experience became the product that should have existed — a standardized interior acoustic quality score for every building, generated automatically from public data, available to every renter before they sign."
— Clayton O'Leary, Founder
