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?
@nuno_ms_reis Thank you Nuno, we are still in the process of bringing more EU data :)
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
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
Noise is such a big problem, especially when you work from home all day without proper noise isolation setups like an office. Wish this existed for asia as well, so I can take it into consideration while doing long workations. Regardless Great work Catalin 🔥
Well then I can finally let go of trying to explain to Google each time that I am just looking for a quiet place! Love this, congrats!
This si absolutely cool. I love the idea and will try it out during travels for sure. Imagine finding a quiet spot just within one of those Megacities in the world. Congratulations on your launch!
Hey Catalin, what a breath of fresh air your project brings! In the constant buzz of city life, finding a pocket of peace can be a real game-changer. I can't wait to explore these quiet havens and experience a new side of my city. Kudos for creating such a valuable resource for all of us needing a slice of serenity! Keep up the fantastic work!
Get yourself in the newspaper of every major city! Then maybe provide one random free quiet spot and the rest by payment
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!
@pixeleonard Thanks a lot Leonard! Please have a look at our main website earth.fm and share some feedabck about that too.
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)."
I loved the idea! Sometimes you surprisingly find great hidden places when walking in a big city. Will try it. Congrats and best of luck! 🎉
This is such an amazing idea! I love big cities, but they can often be too much, too loud, and it is great to find a place to rest and recover without all the noise.
Peaceful retreats in the city - what a fantastic idea. THe site is a bit crowded though. Do you need a UX consultant?
This project is a game-changer for ADD people like me. I find it very difficult to live in a busy city!
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!
