The Problem

Unidentified noise is one of the most common frustrations in residential and commercial settings. Homeowners frequently hear scratching in the attic, dripping in the walls, buzzing in outlets, or rattling in HVAC systems. Maintenance professionals encounter unexplained mechanical vibrations, bearing wear, air leaks, and failing motors. Automotive technicians must diagnose engine knocks, brake grinding, suspension rattles, and belt squeals based largely on experience and time-consuming inspection.

Currently, locating a noise often requires trial-and-error investigation, physical disassembly, or expensive diagnostic equipment. For homeowners, this can mean unnecessary service calls and costly repairs. For professionals, it means lost time and reduced efficiency. There is no widely adopted, accessible, smartphone-based solution dedicated specifically to identifying and locating hidden noise problems across multiple industries.

FindThatNoise fills this gap.

The Solution

FindThatNoise converts a standard smartphone into an intelligent sound-location and identification device. Using the phone’s microphone combined with advanced signal processing algorithms, the app can:

  • Amplify and isolate specific frequencies

  • Visualize sound patterns in real time

  • Compare audio signatures against a growing AI-trained sound database

  • Help users directionally track noise sources

  • Suggest likely causes based on sound characteristics

The experience is designed to be intuitive. Users simply open the app and tap “What is this noise?” The system analyzes the sound and provides potential matches such as pest movement, water leak, mechanical vibration, airflow turbulence, electrical hum, or structural creak. For professionals, advanced modes allow deeper analysis, including frequency filtering, waveform review, and decibel measurement.

The result is faster troubleshooting, earlier problem detection, and improved decision-making.

FindThatNoise is a mobile application that helps users locate and identify hidden problems using sound. The app transforms a smartphone into an intelligent acoustic detection tool capable of analyzing noises and guiding users to their source.

Many issues in homes, vehicles, and equipment produce sound before visible damage occurs. FindThatNoise helps homeowners, technicians, and businesses quickly diagnose noises such as pests in walls, plumbing leaks, electrical buzzing, HVAC problems, or mechanical failures. Using sound amplification, filtering, and AI-based analysis, the app assists users in determining what a noise is and where it is coming from.

The platform serves residential users, pest control professionals, contractors, automotive technicians, and facility maintenance teams by reducing troubleshooting time and preventing costly repairs through early detection.

FindThatNoise operates on a subscription-based model offering consumer, professional, and business-level features. The long-term vision is to become the leading global solution for sound-based problem detection — essentially “Shazam for real-world noises.”

FindThatNoise helps people find problems they can hear but cannot see.
