Gregory Scott is the Founder of SoundPrint, an app that empowers users to search for places based on sound levels. He is considered a valuable resource within the audiology industry and has spoken at conferences including the Acoustical Society of America, the National Hearing Conservation Association, and the Hearing Loss Association of America.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: 

  • How Gregory Scott stumbled into creating an app
  • The way SoundPrint measures sound
  • What makes an environment suitable for conversation
  • Building a quality app and accessible interface
  • Avoiding hearing damage at a young age
  • How SoundPrint stays up to date with their data

In this episode…

Making your way in the world with hearing loss can be difficult. Even without hearing loss, the risk of permanent hearing damage is shockingly common in modern society. Unfortunately, there are very few tools that can help people know the audio profile of places before they arrive. That’s where SoundPrint comes in.

Gregory Scott is the Founder of SoundPrint, an app that creates a database for the noise levels of real-world locations. This allows people to find quiet spaces anywhere and helps warn people of potentially damaging levels. So how does the app work and where did it originate?

Dr. Mark Syms has an informative conversation with Gregory Scott, the Founder of SoundPrint, to discuss the new app. The two discuss how it was made, the technology behind it, and its most practical applications. They go onto other topics such as young hearing loss, good audio environments for conversations, and how different devices measure sound. Hear all of this and much more on this episode of the ListenUp! Podcast.

Episode Transcript

Intro  0:04  

Welcome to the ListenUp! Podcast where we explore hearing loss communication connections and health.

Dr. Mark Syms  0:10  

Hey everybody, Dr. Mark Syms here, I’m the host of the ListenUp! Podcast where I feature top leaders in hearing healthcare. This episode is brought to you by ListenUp! Hearing Center, I help patients to effectively treat their hearing loss so that they can connect better with their friends and family remain independent. The reason I’m so passionate about helping patients is because I lost my brother Robbie twice. First from his hearing loss from radiation to his brain tumor again, when he passed away, I only clear care for years, I’m the ear of e and t and I’ve performed over 10,000 years surgeries and taking care of many more with hearing loss over the past 20 years. I’m the founder of ListenUp! Hearing Center. I’m also an author of the same book, Listen Up!: A Physician’s Guide to Effectively Treating Your Hearing Loss. If you want to learn more about that go to ListenUp! Hearing Center listenuphearing.com. That’s listenuphearing.com. But great guest today, I’m excited to talk to him. This is Greg Scott, he’s the founder of SoundPrint. It’s an app that allows you to discover a quieter venue in your city. Like many people with hearing loss, Greg had difficulty hearing in noisy bars and restaurants, he began to measure noise with a smart phone decibel meter and developed the list of quieter places that inspired Greg to create the SoundPrint crowdsourcing app. The app is not only for the hearing impaired community, but even those with typical hearing will benefit from it. Today, people worldwide can really access the sound PRINT app to learn if a certain venue is quieter or louder. So great guest somebody has done something about hearing loss and how to hear better in public places. Something many of my patients complain about Greg, thanks for coming on the podcast. I appreciate it.

Gregory Scott  1:45  

Thanks for having me. Excited to be here.

Dr. Mark Syms  1:47  

Yeah, this is great. So Greg, tell me you know a little bit about, you know, your journey. In other words, I suspect you didn’t. You weren’t born to be a iPhone or a smartphone app developer. So tell tell me about like the story. I mean, I gave a little bit of summary. But you know, tell me about your you’re coming to it and then tried to get it started, which was probably a challenge in and of itself.

Gregory Scott  2:09  

Yeah, sure. So I live in New York City. And I think I essentially was trying to solve a problem. And that problem was trying to find love in old places. Notorious, loud, New York City. And going on date, I’ve been trying to find restaurants or bars or coffee shops that weren’t noisy, won’t be able to hear my date. Because obviously, with hearing loss and more sensitive to loud noises, or our intrusive noise, and I would go to Google, I will go to Yelp, I will go to Foursquare, we try to use Open Table social channels like quiet restaurant in East Village or quiet wine bar in Soho or quiet, you know, cafe in San Francisco if I was in San Francisco, and most of the time, the results weren’t that good. But sometimes I would pass those results and go to those places. And, you know, I was down like 95-99% of the time, the places went quiet, and they were getting very frustrating. And more often than not getting a little bit of anxiety for the days, you got to be reliable enough to have a good compensation. We’ll have to spend so much energy trying to figure out what this thing. And as opposed to being able to relax and be totally present in the conversation. And so that kind of like was the basic problem I was trying to solve. And I was going home to San Francisco where I’m from, I went to have dinner with my mother. And she said, Well, like you said a quiet spot. And she said why not. That’s what I thought would have been nice. We all had a stain, a calibrated decibel meter on a smartphone where we could all mega places based on how loud or quiet they are to help certain people find quieter venues. Avoid the noisy one. And so like basically essentially how the whole concept got started, I do not have a tech background. But they started and actually designing the app and with the products of olive oil, trying to keep it as simple as possible. Make it as user friendly as possible, make it as easy as possible to get users to make a measurement and to meditate the database so that everybody in the community can find and discover these places that promote the cloud of venues as to how people know what venues to avoid. And it kind of started there and noted sharing the app once it was finished with the hearing health community or the hearing like the hearing loss the unhealth community locally and New York City what the acoustics professional that are located nationwide. Started in New York, the real user response was pretty fast right off the bat media picked up on it. And I think it’s because we all have yours. And we can all relate to the issue of a place maybe being too noisy and not knowing what to do about it or not being cognitive, about just annoy can affect a sensory experience your ability to converse with somebody ability to connect with somebody. So it kind of took on a life of its own. And we kind of do a study by study approach where one to the large data will use estimate and in the study, we collect the data to the so called Quiet list of a certain study, and then use that to launch in that study. And we have about somewhere between 13 to 15 studies that have been launched and then we have about seven to eight that are gearing up to be launched going forward to do a lot of positive momentum and growth with the app.

Dr. Mark Syms  6:04  

So when you rate a location, how many sound checks Do you want to have to make it? Is it one or multiple or? Well, people go to a venue they take a sampling they submit it to you obviously it’s also based on time I assume time of day right?

Gregory Scott  6:23  

Yeah, so the best to make sure those columns down check the minimum 15 seconds at the time by date of the week and time with the day ideally, I mean, an hour we will take any soundcheck is better than those damn jokes so we encourage our users to soundcheck whenever they’re out in terms of an ID or soundcheck is whenever the place that your users patronizing, decently populated, like even at the peak hour, and whether it’s a good number of people, though, that represent the typical audience, that in ideal time for us to take the soundcheck and gives us an ideal standard, what the standard level of the venue is, in terms of numbers down just again, one way better than zero, so we will take one, but in terms of ISBN confident and robust in the data. Ideally, we want at least three soundcheck during a peak day of peak hour timeframe for a certain venue and different cities have different Glasgow, I mean, New York City is so massively huge. You know that, and it’s so widely populated that the number of soundcheck for us the parade for New York manually gamma worth $1, higher than in another maybe smaller city, whatever, whatever that city may be. The The other thing that helps a lot is a user can take a measurement at a minimum of 15 seconds and they select the venue. There’s another screen that pops up that gives the we asked the user for additional data is optional for the user to interpret helps us a lot. And they can give us a subjective interpretation of how difficult or easy it is to have a conversation in the venue. They can say how loud it are occupied by newer, and so on, we’re looking at the data, but then you really occupied it with greater than 50%. And it done during peak time and peak hours. That’s a really good, robust data point. The other thing to think about is I played can be noisy, but to be acoustically optimized for compensation. And we see that a lot in the data where maybe the objective sound level may be a little bit high, maybe 77, 78, even 79. That’s the board’s in some cases out of time. But multiple users will say that the quality of the ability to have a conversation is really good to put the average. So like there are some indicators you can do when comparing the data analysis that really helped us determine the quality of the sound level of these places.

Dr. Mark Syms  9:02  

That’s really interesting. Great. So like, what would be those things that might make? I mean, just out of experience, what would be those things that would make it a loud environment, but it’s good for conversation?

Gregory Scott  9:15  

Yeah, from a venue manager, perspective, or CO design perspective of a restaurant, a cafe, a wine bar, or even a church or gym is basically one thing to think about is found absorption material. So if you are asking do you talk to people, you know, who are dying now 30-40 years ago, they’ll tell you that? A lot of us don’t. You know, the main thing was to be a place for conversation. And if you looked at the status of these places, a lot of times they had a company, they had upholstery on the chair, they had a tablecloth, maybe they had a plan for date that absorbs down and what changed a lot is now We have a lot of open kitchen, we have a lot of much harder surfaces. And we have people that are kind of permeate the room. So the other thing you can work for is not having an open kitchen, think about the table space and the table seating. And there’s a bar, you position the tables away from the bar where there’s a lot of people espresso machine where you put the espresso machine, also how the directional prediction of the speaker, you could set up your speakers where a certain area of the restaurant or the bar is quieter, because the music doesn’t. It kind of avoided a little bit, there’ll be some surface, but flexion, but it won’t be as intense in certain areas. So those are just a few of the things that can make a place. A lot more acoustic fun. So really, the best thing is to pay attention to design when you’re designing the restaurant. But what happens is, a lot of venue managers are getting noisy complaining to the wondering why people just aren’t having a very good, be honest, even though the food is amazing. Because a lot of times it’s down to just either overwhelming when you go out or just not very pleasant. And people start that nobody’s understand.

Dr. Mark Syms  11:13  

Yeah, no, thanks. That’s great feedback. So when looking at your app, you know, I mean, you have different categories of venues, right? Yeah. You know, quiet loud, very loud, so moderate? What’s the distribution? In other words, of all of the venues you have? What What about what percentage is quiet? What’s moderate? What’s the outer ones? Very loud?

Gregory Scott  11:36  

So very good question. When I initially started this app, one of the things that I had assumed was a little bit curious about was I thought it was gonna be a very extreme distribution of people making very quiet downloadable submission, which is 70 decibels and below, if you have hearing loss, but probably ideal for you what you have to do young wife like I do this idea. And then you’re gonna have people making some action corners very loud in the center. People either want to promote a quiet space, but they wanted people to know about it, or they want to put in a noise complaint. Basically, by taking a measurement should also add that user can make noise complaint, and will contact the venue and work with the venue and put them in touch with an acoustic supplier to help optimize it. But in terms of the distribution, the pricing is a lot more even evenly spread out than I thought it’s not perfectly 25% across all four categories, but it’s something like 28% in the very loud and 28% in the quiet, and then the moderate and loud, make up the roster with a lot more evenly or close to evenly spread out. And I

Dr. Mark Syms  12:49  

thought, yeah, I’d be honest with you, I thought it was going to be skewed to the loud and very loud. That’s where I thought it would be skewed.

Gregory Scott  12:56  

Yeah, I think that your speaks to you know, I’m a user just taken, getting in the habit of whoever they are taking us down, Chuck. And that really helped, I think, give out the data. But even

Dr. Mark Syms  13:11  

so, I was looking on your website. So you have cities that have been kind of mapped? What are the criteria? Like how many sound checks are? What makes a city to be considered to be mapped?

Gregory Scott  13:22  

You mean like to be put on the COVID Quiet list to appear in the database? Well, no,

Dr. Mark Syms  13:26  

you have a list on your database on your website. That’s like, it’s it’s the main cities that actually you have enough. I think, you know, you’ve had certain cities that you’ve gone and done it for more so than others. Am I wrong? And your quiet list? I guess it is yeah.

Gregory Scott  13:43  

Okay, so all the Okay, let me make I think it’s important to make a distinction, okay, any city user can make the mixture and then do those stupid places in any study that exists. You know, there’s a user and your study was made one Township, and you are within close proximity within the filters on your app. On the safe function, you can see the sound level on the venue that they submitted for. And so there are some studies that have gone to that summation, but they don’t have a quiet list yet. And the quiet list represents basically us doing data analysis running through all the data that is approachable every user to the on the state function, but what they’re really calculating correlating the quiet list of places we feel quite confident based on the data and someone bathroom can speak to and following up with the venue that the studies are reliably quiet values on that study low aligned require ideally I really in terms of price, or it really depends on the city side. So for New York City, for example, every value have to have I mentioned an earlier part of Call at least three styling check, John finding time days an hour that will require the monitor down level. Sure, well, that was recommended to the quiet was been using. So that was a criteria, then consider the boundary in place on the quiet consider a city. Ideally, we’d like to see cities that have somewhere at least, you know, five 600 township taken over time. Now that may sound like a lot, but it’s actually probably quite easy to have a number of power users who over a span of several months or even just within the span of a year, all of a sudden is a certain thing, because eligible, and the more start looking and coming through the data and you know, plenty of cities that already have more than five to 600. So it depends where you are. But if you’re in a Metro City, no peanuts, Napa. Number Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, I will put the Russell’s somewhere between 700 I sound checks total? I guess. So you have a good size and quiet with the represent the size of the city or smallest city lifestyle could be anywhere between two to 400. It really just depends on what the study has been pretty well mapped out yet. I mapped out. I mean, a good number of the venues had been SAMSHA.

Dr. Mark Syms  16:30  

Right? Well, I’m gonna tell you, I mean, I love the app. So the one of the question I have for years is how did you get it developed? In other words, you said you’re not a tech guy. So what? Even getting an app built?

Gregory Scott  16:46  

Yeah, that was a very interesting process. Excuse me, I’m just copying a little bit. More basically, I remember when they had the idea, it was a good paper and just in my head wrote down and what I think that you look like every single function, right now the PowerPoint deck of something like 80 slides, and I did some research and I looked up mobile software mobile development shop that did both like design. And they did the tech stack development for us.

Dr. Mark Syms  17:24  

They use user interface and the backend, right you want Yeah, yeah.

Gregory Scott  17:29  

So and I guess I had a relationship with, you know, the shop that I ended up using, and I learned a lot through the unknowability good. They’re very educational, taught me a lot about it. And that’s how the app initially got developed. And I did that for me for a couple of years. And then a lot of the crack that down from getting, there was quite interest from people either not a similar idea or who wanted to work on something similar. And our CTO, great CTO reached out to me and said he was interested. And so over the course of several several conversations, he came on board. And so now we have an internal CTO who does all this stuff. No development,

Dr. Mark Syms  18:19  

the app is free, correct? Correct. So who pays all these people?

Gregory Scott  18:25  

Well, I started finding I’m finding the app, and then we also generate some sponsorships, I pay for operating costs. Well,

Dr. Mark Syms  18:33  

that’s great. So it really is a passion project, not a business undertaking for profit.

Gregory Scott  18:41  

Well, that’s a huge social mission component to it, because we generate all the data that we’ll use, and we aggregate the data anonymously, and share with public health we so curious, I get the word healing form, which is part of the WHO, the World Health Organization or any noise pollution researcher, we’re in the process of channel data, doing data analytics on novel data, entitled, The best done, nobody else is doing that the primary social mission, and then we look for ways to generate revenue to do the operations of Yeah, yeah.

Dr. Mark Syms  19:19  

No, that’s great. That’s, I mean, it’s really wonderful. I mean, I’ll tell you, I thought about something like this, probably 2014-15. But I, you did it, I didn’t. So, you know, the idea is great, but somebody actually brought it to fruition. And that’s one of the reasons I’m so intrigued by it, because I think it’s a great idea for people to be able to know where all these sounds are. Yeah,

Gregory Scott  19:40  

thank you. Very unique, be able to be on because there’s, there’s not a lot of people doing and it’s very hard to generate, like, interest in something that a lot of people don’t think about in terms of hearing. It’s invisible, like even the disability of Pinot Noir to start with The invisible disability is not something see, you know, noise isn’t something that we see. But it’s a very widely used empowerment well, and we all have years and it’s really been a joy to watch the public respond to it. And all the emails we get saying that users really want a tour like to have advocate for the own hearing help show the venue managers, hey, look, can you lower the music? Or just turn it off? Or do something about it? Because it places loud and you need to, like tell you exactly the decibel level, because the world just seems to be getting louder and louder, at least right before the pandemic, and I’m sorry, noise induced hearing loss is becoming an epidemic rising still yet public health issue more people? Do they have hearing loss at a younger age? This isn’t. I’m not basing this on earth 30. I’m just basing this on my own observation on compensation. But the studies

Dr. Mark Syms  20:57  

confirm exactly what you’re telling that there are people in their 20s with nerve Hearing loss from noise, right. And so

Gregory Scott  21:05  

yeah, and it’s not even just, I’m hearing loss and you know, the absolute thoughts or thoughts of tinnitus, which also attracts a huge number of people on you have a hyper acoustics and that you’re talking about the healing health, it’s also the normal health aspects of all the sound effects and, you know, strapping your body up, but think about the employees who are working in very loud, you know, venues or concerts or restaurants, you know, go to the loud music will get excessive noise eight hours a day, every day, that takes a toll on your body. And one thing that I like to tell people not telling me on a noisy place to get a sense of like, you know, internalizing the impacts of excessive noise on the body, pay attention to how your body feels right, when you leave a venue, all of a sudden you’ll notice your shoulder or relax a little bit, you’ll just be like a two second piece of common. People are very familiar with this, but I’m not sure they completely cognizant of wickedly attractive orally sound energy and the cumulative effects on the body over time.

Dr. Mark Syms  22:12  

Yeah, I mean, I think you’re you’re spot on. And you know, even on a simpler level, just you know, going out to perhaps trying to do something social like a meal. And it being much more work than you had expected because of the background noise making the day to day conversation or casual social conversation. Challenging, right. And so people, it’s, it’s, it’s not that they realize that it’s made it hard. They don’t they’re not aware of it. But it actually is made that the event or the evening out, or whatever you want to call it, as you were just more difficult. You’re working harder to communicate. Yeah, definitely, though. That’s great stuff. And so where do you see this app going? I mean, what else I mean.

Gregory Scott  22:54  

So right now, the first thing is that the app like very high level hasn’t been getting users getting the brand awareness about that we find out is, you know, getting more data, the more data that users, you know, the style check, we’re at any venue at any time of the day, whether it’s a gym, a retail store, a hotel, you know, a waterpark dashboard, the post stays on the app, to get to it. And then the second page, which we’re starting to explore a lot more concretely is working with the venue managers are identified. And we’re reaching out to them, telling them that people have either put the middle of the noise complaint or people or you know, possibly not returning to the venue because of being too loud. And kind of automating and scaling up the process of connecting those venue managers, the ones who are receptive, what the acoustic consultant and supplier, there’s one thing you want to do, you know that the other thing is we need to help those venues that have wired a sound environment or certain areas in the restaurant or a certain set of tables in the restaurant, be able to benefit from creating a very quiet environment. So we’re working on a partnership that kind of helps reward those venues and be of those venue managers are an avenue to help promote it to a new, a user base that really cares about noise and get up on that point. But it’s not just people who are noisy sensitive that use the app. I mean, they’re very heavy users, obviously, but it’s also behavior or situation. So there are people with normal hearing who just want a quiet spot for a certain date or they have a good conversation over a business meeting. Or maybe look families in town or they just don’t feel stressed. And so there’s a lot of behavioral use uses of the app to like situational

Dr. Mark Syms  24:53  

Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, I guess the kind of the one thing is is you know, restaurants sell food, not conference sation and so some of them definitely use the background noise to make it so people converse less and eat more and flip tables. So it does have something to do with that flipping tables. Would you agree?

Gregory Scott  25:12  

Yeah, yeah. But McDonald’s also a place for social conversation is the place for connection as well. Great people. And so I think there’s a big under appreciation for house down really, actually that experience.

Dr. Mark Syms  25:29  

I agree. 100% I just think some of them are looking at the the only product that they’re worried about generating revenue from his food and yeah, right. No, I agree. 100%. I mean, you know, it is the whole experience. But you know, I mean, especially the lower priced restaurants, so if you go into not to hang them out to drive, but if you go into a Cheesecake Factory, in the middle of the afternoon, when the venue is empty, there’s a lot of noise. And they’re piping noise into that venue to make it so it’s more crowded, and people eat quicker.

Gregory Scott  26:05  

Yeah, I think I seen I’ve heard about these studies out, encode the venue managers to wrap up the noise, to generate more turnover and generate more sales. You know, what I often was surprised when I, there was an acoustic consultant told me that one, I’m not going to name the retail store, but the one very well-known retailer that would crank up the music to keep the parents out. But keep the teenagers on the hook that was really interesting. And people are making noise complaints and the management of that retail store, which I know the purpose of those two parents out and get the teenagers in and we’re not changing.

Dr. Mark Syms  26:55  

Oh, that’s interesting. Well, I mean, I guess if it’s consistent with their business model, and it doesn’t discourage it, but you and I aren’t going to likely to be going in there. So that’s their law. I don’t know if it is their loss. But I understand what you’re saying. So well, this is really impressive. Is this what you do full time now? It’s great.

Gregory Scott  27:13  

Yeah, it’s, it’s all time was all time. And but I put in a lot more time. And yeah, I’m working all the time.

Dr. Mark Syms  27:22  

Yeah. So in other words, this plus something else, but this is a full time job in and of itself. Yeah. Yeah, that’s great. So Well, I mean, I very much appreciate your efforts. And I admire you taking it to fruition and really doing something that I think has wonderful utility across literally the world. For this type of data. I just think it’s great. I have used the app to sample and look around. And it seems accurate. I was wondering, there must be some way you analyze your data when a place goes out of business, somehow you must know like that it doesn’t exist anymore and take it off of your database. But I assume this just the login, if a place closes, I assume.

Gregory Scott  28:02  

Yeah. So that is the automated pasta that we use a third-party API, like a Google Foursquare or like a Yelp API, that is their entire business and basically generating location based data, often metadata associated with that, a lot of times, they will mark whether a venue is close. But that doesn’t always happen in the afternoon, time for a place is raised appears on the app. But oftentimes, it’s because the API that we’re using, which relies on music to crowdsource the information, there’s laving told the band be our revocation service that the police has been closed. But sometimes we get, well either delete the venue itself, or we’ll educate the user or we’ll get through it all. So to notify the old party location. So because this is

Dr. Mark Syms  29:01  

great stuff, I mean, I really appreciate the work. You’re doing. Really amazing, Greg. So Greg, what, tell me what’s your favorite sound? You’re you’re in the enabling people they hear in busy restaurants and bars business, but really, what’s your favorite sound?

Gregory Scott  29:18  

You know, I think I know quite well. It’s usually when I’m traveling on the road, and I’m in a restaurant. And I’m thinking to myself, wait, there’s something missing? I live in New York things. I’m like, there’s something amiss here. What is it like? Am I not doing well today? Like what is that? Oh, no, you just have to be in a quiet room doing it. And a lot of you just happened to be have a lot more quiet a restaurant and so that might be with them.

Dr. Mark Syms  29:44  

So the the lack of sound is your favorite sound?

Gregory Scott  29:47  

Yes, very much.

Dr. Mark Syms  29:49  

So Greg, where can people find this app? I assume it’s on the App Store and Google Play, but where do they get it?

Gregory Scott  29:59  

So are just on the App Store for iPhone users. And it’s also on the Google Play Store. For Android users. The one thing you should know about the Google version is that the Samsung main three model have adjusted decibel meters on them. But a lot of the non doing Samsung like maybe the notebook or like the other non Samsung phones, like the Google Pixel, the LG, those types of bounds, those are very difficult to calibrate. They’re very resource-intensive. And so some of the models, some of the people listening to this, have those nonsense, enjoy pound, you’re gonna get a subjective input where you just basically tell the user what you think the policy is louder noise if you’re allowed to have an objective decibel meter on somebody’s phone, but the issue that a lot of the staff were due to cost during the Android ecosystem, and the hardware isn’t there under so you have different hardware microphones and different types of fun. And so to make it accurate one, it’s a very small attack, and then to to make it a staging accuracy roughly or approximately, across all the Android phones very difficult, though, despite the data. So for the time being some of these phones have subjective data, but we we still ask users to input the data, even if it’s subjective, but most of the users have opened.

Dr. Mark Syms  31:33  

Okay, great. That’s awesome. And so if people want to your website, what is your web address? I mean, I know what it is. But yeah,

Gregory Scott  31:41  

SoundPrint one word .co SoundPrint.co.

Dr. Mark Syms  31:44

Okay, again, everybody. This is Greg Scott. He’s the CEO and founder of SoundPrint. It’s an awesome app to give you information about background noise in different venues, so you can communicate more effectively and hear better. I think he’s done a really amazing thing to take this to fruition. And it sounds like he’s willed it into existence based on his story, which I think is great. So Greg, I want to just you know, give you a big thanks for for those efforts for on behalf of everybody who benefits from this. And thanks for coming on the podcast.
