To combat noise pollution, a completely innovative data project was developed. It is called “Silence Network“, an application created to combat the effects of noise with a collaborative global map.
The innovative project, based on cell phones with over 350,000 users worldwide, was created to combat noise pollution through local data crowdsourcing.
Anyone can see how much noise to expect when moving to a new area, opening a business there, or simply going to a café or going for a walk.
“Silence Network”: how the app against noise pollution works
The objective of the application is to provide companies and urban decision-makers with detailed data on noise pollution to help reduce stress and health risks associated with noise.
Noise pollution in cities.
Silence is a DePIN, a decentralized network that uses tokens to incentivize people to collaborate. It is already present in about 180 countries and was designed with privacy security measures.
It is important to clarify that it does not listen to users and only collects information anonymously.
Reducing the carbon footprint
This app to reduce noise pollution adopted a smartphone-centered approach instead of having to set up its own sensors, which also shows a commitment to reducing the carbon footprint.
For this reason, they chose to build on “peaq“, a layer 1 blockchain designed specifically to drive DePIN: it uses the most ecological technology in Web3.
“We have no scalability issues and it is cost-effective at the same time. They empower projects like ours by allowing community-owned infrastructure networks,” they state from the app.
