SOUNO helps users de-stress themselves using sound & music therapy. It aims at collecting harmonic sounds around you, like the birds chirping or a whistling person, and then creating generative therapeutic sound. It also beams out harmonious lights complimentary with music. Also the chaos that it records is turned into sound therapy therefore "making your chaos calmer".

Why?

Mask group.png

India has a major problem of noise pollution. A lack of administrative will to tackle noise pollution is evident as the incessant honking & the use of loudspeakers are a common occurrence during elections, festivals etc.

Numerous studies have revealed the effect noise has on the health of humans as well as the impact of noise pollution on animals.

​

In 2017, a Worldwide Hearing Index ranked Delhi as the second-noisiest city in the world (the first being Guangzhou), followed by Cairo and Mumbai.

"Can we use these noises of daily lives and help users to retain some mental balance?"
