What NoiseAware actually is
NoiseAware is a hardware-plus-software noise monitoring platform for short-term rentals. Its sensors measure sound-pressure levels without recording audio — FCC-certified privacy safe — and alert operators when noise exceeds set thresholds. For portfolios of 10+ properties, AutoResolve automatically messages guests during noise events, resolving 90% of incidents in under 30 minutes without manager intervention.
Core features
- Privacy-safe noise-level sensors (no audio recording, FCC certified)
- AutoResolve automated guest messaging (10+ property accounts)
- Real-time push notifications on noise threshold breaches
- Timestamped historical noise data for dispute resolution
- Indoor and outdoor sensor options
Pros
- Privacy-safe monitoring with no audio recording removes legal ambiguity
- AutoResolve handles 90% of noise events in under 30 minutes without manager intervention
- Historical noise data provides objective evidence for neighbor or HOA disputes
Cons
- Sensors require stable 2.4 GHz WiFi — unreliable on fringe connections
- No ability to customize automated guest messages
- AutoResolve is restricted to accounts with 10+ properties
Best for
- Property managers with 10+ listings in party-prone urban or resort markets who need hands-off noise resolution at scale
Not for
- Budget-conscious hosts who balk at per-property fees plus $99/sensor hardware, or operators in rural areas with weak WiFi
Is NoiseAware right for you?
Honest per-segment take. Click any card for the full breakdown.
1–5 listings
Small portfolios
Works for neighbor-complaint protection, but you'll pay $15/mo per property plus $99/sensor and won't get AutoResolve — so every noise alert means a manual call.

5–20 listings
Mid-sized portfolios
This is NoiseAware's sweet spot — AutoResolve unlocks at 10+ properties and eliminates 90% of noise calls, paying for itself in saved late-night headaches.

20–100 listings
Large portfolios
NoiseAware's Professional plan unlocks AutoResolve and custom pricing specifically for 10+ listing operators. At 20–100 listings the per-property fee buys real neighbor-complaint protection that prevents revenue-killing HOA/municipal actions.

Airbnb primary
Airbnb-first hosts
Solid noise protection for urban Airbnb listings where neighbor complaints threaten your listing, but you'll need 10+ properties before automation kicks in.

Vrbo primary
Vrbo-first hosts
NoiseAware monitors the physical property, so it doesn't care which channel the booking came from — Vrbo-primary operators get the same noise protection and AutoResolve behavior as everyone else.

3+ channels
Multi-channel operators
NoiseAware works regardless of booking channel since it monitors the physical property, but the lack of deep PMS integration means it sits alongside your stack rather than inside it.
