#3I’m a fan of Soundprint. I’ve used their app since they were featured in the New Yorker a few years ago. I try to avoid loud restaurants and their quiet list is a great way to discover new places:

#4My first impression before reading the article was that this was for people with perfect pitch to avoid areas blasting out of tune notes playing in public spaces.
Very common in train stations, crosdswalks and elevator sounds etc.

It's painful, but you do get used to it.
Or just... wear your headphones all the time, like I do. Would be nice if people didn't do that, but, well.

They're not out of tune, they're just on... nonwestern scales. :)

#8I am one of those people. I love music, and my hearing has recently been tested as "perfect", but I got the hearing test at the request of my wife because she thought I had a hearing problem. For me, everything is good until I am exposed to a loud environment. People around me can talk/understand each other just fine, but I get overwhelmed. After discussing my problem with the audiologist, he recommended a neurologist. I don't think there's a cure for what I have, and I've lived with it as an adult for 40 years. I just downloaded this app to my (Android) phone. I see that it has 10k downloads so far. I am looking forward to using it.

Some people can't get used to it.

#10On improvements, how about incorporating the user's judgment of how busy/full the venue is? A quiet reading at 3pm on Tuesday in a restaurant is not helpful to somebody looking for a venue for a Friday evening dinner.
