Sonalyze measures the acoustic comfort of a home, not your privacy.
Noise can influence quality of life, property value and confidence when buying, selling or renting. Sonalyze makes it measurable with a clear approach: limit collected data, transform sounds into acoustic indicators and protect occupants.
Our commitments in brief
No camera
Sonalyze does not use images and never films the interior of the home.
No conversation recording
The device measures and categorizes sound events locally. The audio file is deleted every 10 seconds after categorization and never leaves the device, which is not connected to the Internet.
Analysis limited to diagnosis
Data is used to produce a report: levels in dB(A), schedules, duration, frequency and typology of disturbances.
Protected data
Data access is limited to authorized persons and exchanges are protected by appropriate mechanisms.
User control
You know the measurement duration, receive a report and can exercise your rights in accordance with applicable regulations.
A clear vision of acoustic comfort.
Depending on the formula chosen, the device analyzes the sound environment over 24h, 48h or up to 7 days.
- sound levels measured in dB(A);
- quiet and noisy periods;
- frequency and duration of sound events;
- main sound families detected;
- probable origin of disturbances: interior, neighborhood, exterior;
- acoustic improvement recommendations.
We measure noise, not your privacy.

A privacy-by-design approach
Security and data protection guide the service architecture: limit collected data, reduce sensitive data retention, favor useful indicators, secure access and explain processing in an understandable manner.
Processing is performed locally on the device to limit sensitive data flows. Sounds are transformed into information usable for diagnosis: noise type, sound level, timestamp, duration and trend. The audio file is deleted every 10 seconds after categorization and does not leave the device.
