I'm literally switching houses because of the large vehicle noises late night. Wish this also existed for India

@goforbg I am sorry to hear that, but it's good you are changing house and set your priorities for quiet! Check out earth.fm where you can listen to beautiful nature sounds from around the world at any time you want

Hey, congratulations. The design gives me a good vibe and peace as well. However, your product triggers my strong curiosity about how you can gather data of quiet places. I'm not sure if someone finds a hidden place and is willing to share for others which can lead to a noisy place later? The only group I think of is social media influencers, TikTok-ers. Just a random thought.

@tranggpham Hi Trang, we have parsed huge amounts of data manually. Please check out the sources at the end of the page

@tranggpham Hi Trang, thanks so much for your feedback :) Glad to hear you love the design! You raise an interesting point about what makes a 'quiet' place. Like you said, if a 'quiet' place gets too much attention, it could later become crowded and lose it's appeal as somewhere peaceful. We considered this to some degree within the research methodology, take a look at this section for more info: "We identified which parks and nature spots are considered quiet by those who visit them. We did this by searching visitors’ reviews for mentions of ‘quiet’, ‘relaxing’, ‘tranquil’, ‘calm’, and ‘peaceful’. This gave us a ‘Quiet Score’, a metric we created based on three factors: the share of each location’s reviews that mention these words; the location’s average visitor rating; and its popularity, and whether that impacts its peacefulness (a place with many reviews may be more crowded and less peaceful, while one with only a few reviews may not accurately represent the typical visitor experience)."

Ok I must be honest here. I'm MIND --- BLOWN. No joke. As a growth marketer, I really appreciate quirky and unexpected proucts like this. It's exactly the type of things that go viral. LOVE LOVE LOVE it, Catalin!!! The concept is *chef's kiss* and the design is fantastic. Wow, I seriously love it. Did you consider running a newsletter for updating about new quiet places that are added to the finder's database? Like a once-a-week email

What an inspiring idea, love it! Many people would agree with the noise issue, not so many would go and implement a product...What was the trigger for you to create Quiet Places Finder?

Great idea! Helping people escape the busy city life! Coming from the countryside, living in a big city can take a real toll. It's really nice to see a product like that, that's aims to help people relax and live a healthier lifestyle! Best of luck!

@th_calafatidis Thank you Theo!

What a nice idea. The constant noise can be a pain when living in the city and I didn't even think about the effect this has on our health. I just realized that the feature to filter by region does not work for Germany, but I could still see the quiet places in the country, so that was no problem. I am excidet to see how this develops!
