01 · The problem

You inspect on a quiet Tuesday afternoon.
You live there every night after.

Nobody who commits to a property — buyer, renter, or guest — gets a real read on ambient noise before they're locked in. It's all discovered after signing:

The flight path

A landing every eight minutes through the evening — invisible at a 2pm inspection, unmissable at 9pm every night.

DISCOVERED: WEEK ONE

The 2am licence

The charming pub on the corner holds a licence that outlasts your alarm clock. Friday and Saturday, every week.

DISCOVERED: FIRST WEEKEND

The 4am freight line

The rail corridor behind the back fence runs coal and containers through the night, on a timetable the daytime inspection never showed you.

DISCOVERED: TOO LATE
02 · The score

One number. Six axes.
Every claim traceable.

Here's how an address reads in n-earshot. Six axes, one score, and tap-through evidence in the app showing the flights, the licences, and the ratings behind every number. The model is public: read the methodology.

Mostly quiet overnight, but expect an overflight roughly every 4 minutes between 4pm–8pm, and steady traffic from King Street (16,588 vehicles/day, adjacent).
AI deepdive

The thing that decides this address is the evening. From about 4pm the aircraft, the King Street traffic peak and the pub crowds all stack up, and the hourly profile doesn't drop away until after 11pm — it peaks at 8–10pm and only bottoms out between 2am and 5am. If you're an early sleeper on the street side, that's the whole issue in one sentence.

Venues score highest of any axis here. A retail strip runs essentially along the building line, and four licensed premises sit within walking distance — Odd Culture 58 m away and Kellys on King 138 m both licensed to 3am, The Coopers Hotel to 1am at 69 m. Aircraft is close behind: 185 tracked overflights a day across five measured corridors (adsb.lol, 90 days), median heights around 1,200–1,350 m, roughly one every three minutes between 4pm and 8pm, and an estimated 61 dB Leq(24h). Traffic is the constant underneath — King Street carries a measured 16,588 vehicles/day right out front with clear line of sight, 23 m away.

Rail is a non-issue: 230 m away with four rows of buildings screening it. Industrial and infrastructure are negligible.

This is convenience traded for peace. It suits people who want Newtown at their door and sleep soundly or work late. Avoid it if you need quiet evenings, unless you can secure a rear-facing room with sealed glazing. No resident ratings yet, so lived experience is missing.

03 · How it works

Three layers of truth,
one honest number.

Institutional data

Live government feeds: flight tracking, the liquor licence register with exact trading hours, EPA industrial premises, measured traffic volumes, rail corridors, development applications.

ADS-B · LIQUOR REGISTERS · NPI · STATE TRAFFIC COUNTS · RAIL TIMETABLES · OSM · PLANNING PORTALS

Resident ratings

People rate their own address — a number and fixed tags, nothing else. GPS-verified at the address, one rating per household, published only pooled at street level. No free text, no names, no targets. Ever.

GPS-GATED · POOLED · NEVER INDIVIDUAL

Measured sound

A 30-second sample turns opinion into decibels — analysed on the phone, never recorded. Fixed sensors come next: think community air-quality maps, but for noise.

Only sources that describe the street's outlook raise an alert: development applications and liquor licences. Refreshed traffic counts, timetables and map edits never do. Every alert names its source and links to the application or licence behind it.

05 · Rules that don't bend

Built to be trusted with
the biggest decision you make.

The score is free. Forever.

Every address, no login, no paywall on the number. We charge for depth — evidence packs, alerts, reports — never for the truth.

Every number shows its work.

Tap any axis and see the flights, the licence, the traffic count behind it. When data is thin, the score says so instead of pretending.

Nobody gets named.

Ratings carry no text and no targets — you describe your own address, never a neighbour. Published scores are pooled across a street pocket with a minimum count.

Audio never leaves your phone.

Sound samples become a single decibel figure on-device. We never store or transmit recordings.

Individual data is never sold.

Aggregated street-level statistics power the product. Nothing we publish or license can single out a household.

06 · Where this goes

Every address decision,
eventually.
