A new mobile application aims to address the impact of noise pollution on mental health by mapping sound levels in real time. The app, named ‘Silent Cities,’ correlates users’ mental states with the noise levels they experience throughout their daily activities.
Developers of the app estimate that urban noise can contribute to increased stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues among city dwellers. By providing data on noise pollution, the app seeks to assist individuals in finding quieter areas in cities, which could help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
Users can track their mental states through the app, which will use self-reported data to create a personalized noise map. This information will not only benefit users but also serve municipalities by supplying them with crucial data to inform noise control policies.
The project is currently open for bidding, with developers expected to complete the app within a budget of $250-750 USD. Once launched, ‘Silent Cities’ could become an essential tool for residents seeking to manage their mental health in increasingly noisy urban environments.
By focusing on real-time data collection and user feedback, the app aims to foster a better understanding of how noise affects mental health and encourage urban planners to consider sound levels when designing public spaces.
