I find it hilarious that this product exists. For so many reasons. A noise meter for your (most likely illegaly) rented apartment so your neighbors aren't bothered. I wonder how else that could be fixed... Oh right, regulations on noise and distance to housing, which every hotel has to follow, but AirBnb's litlle grey area abuse scheme miraculously gets to avoid it.
- arjie 10y agoRegulations don't make things not be noisy. They mandate that things not be noisy. Then someone has to go make sure that when things are getting noisy, it stops. In a hotel, that'll be the hotel manager when the other guests or the neighbours complain. This is a proactive means to avoid that. I mean, it's not like saying "Don't make a huge amount of noise in my apartment" enforces that you can't. You can still do it.

And if you get inspected and it turns your you are not within the regulations, the fine is going to be a fun one too. Therefore, new hotels are built somewhat isolated from existing housing, or take up an entire building. As opposed to a random person just renting his apartment and getting a tap on the wrist eventually.
