After graduating with honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Andrew Schulz applied his electrical engineering degree to building government radar systems. In 2015, after a colleague lost his short-term-rental property following a house party that left $30K in costs, Schulz developed NoiseAware. He now applies his engineering and manufacturing expertise full-time to the world's leading STR noise solution.

Product Description: NoiseAware is a privacy-safe noise monitoring service designed to detect and resolve noise nuisances in short-term rentals, hotels, and multifamily residences. NoiseAware's discreet tamper-proof sensors can easily be installed indoors and out, and monitored from a mobile dashboard. NoiseAware's AutoResolve feature solves noise issues through automated guest messaging, and is available through management software integrations, or directly through NoiseAware.
Business Model: The NoiseAware system is a sensor + software platform developed to measure noise levels, detect problem noise, and resolve noise nuisances in short-term rentals, hotels and multifamily residences. It is designed to scale with expanding portfolios, and to allow remote noise mitigation without added labor cost.
Competitors: Party Squasher, Minut, Roomonitor
Competitive Edge: NoiseAware is the only 100% privacy-safe, indoor/outdoor noise monitoring platform, trusted by the largest hospitality companies and cities across the country.
Market Opportunity: Noise is a problem everyone has dealt with across all segments of hospitality. Cities are beginning to mandate NoiseAware to be compliant with STR regulations, hotels are short staffed with problem guests at an all time high, and more people are working in their apartment. People are working from hotels/rentals expecting the same level of quiet as home. NoiseAware is the first and only scalable solution to address and resolve human to human noise nuisances remotely without staff involvement.
Early Customers: Sonder, Mint House, Front Desk, Vector, Vrbo
