A normal sound level meter only displays momentary SPL. It does not record long-term data, cannot compare days, weeks or months, has no dashboard, no automated analytics, and no exposure scoring.
Mute boxes continuously monitor the acoustic environment, compute trends, generate quietness scores, detect peaks and store long-term exposure metrics.
Professional environmental monitoring stations (e.g., “Medusa”-class systems) weigh 30–60 kg, require fixed infrastructure, and cost between €20,000 and €80,000 each. They cannot be deployed at scale by citizens or small municipalities.
Mute boxes democratize acoustic intelligence: small, affordable, install-anywhere devices with a complete analytics dashboard.

MUTEq is a turnkey noise-monitoring platform combining professional mute boxes with advanced analytics dashboards.

No — installation is plug-and-play and the device pairs automatically with your dashboard.

Mute boxes use calibrated A-weighted, fast-integration measurements designed for reliable long-term acoustic monitoring.

Mute boxes do not collect personal data. They only publish noise levels and an approximate map location.
This complies with GDPR.
Dashboards are publicly accessible so people can compare neighborhood noise exposure — but no personal information is ever exposed.

Yes — the platform supports multi-sensor deployments with aggregated analytics.

Absolutely — the platform provides long-term exposure metrics useful for property evaluation or pre-purchase checks.

Yes — quietness scores, peaks, streaks and day-over-day charts make it easy to quantify noise exposure.

Yes — MQTT, HTTP ingestion, exports (CSV/JSON) and custom pipelines are available.
