With Minut, you can monitor noise levels and help prevent disturbances before they become a problem. Minut is a privacy-safe noise decibel monitor designed specifically for short-term rentals. It measures sound levels in real-time without recording or storing any audio, so you can ensure peace of mind for both you and your guests.

What is a noise decibel monitor?

Noise decibel monitors, like Minut, track how loud it gets inside your property, as well as how long the noise lasts. They don’t record conversations or capture any audio content, only the sound level itself. This allows you to stay informed about noise issues while fully respecting guest privacy.

Where can noise decibel monitors be installed?

Airbnb allows hosts to use noise decibel monitors indoors, as long as the following guidelines are followed:

  • You must inform guests that a noise monitor is in use.

  • Monitors cannot be placed in private spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or sleeping areas.

  • You do not need to specify the exact location of the monitor within allowed areas.

Minut is designed with these rules in mind, making it easy to install your device in shared spaces like living rooms or kitchens, where it can help you monitor noise levels while staying fully compliant.

Staying compliant with Airbnb

When listing your property, be sure to clearly disclose that a noise monitoring device is installed. This helps set expectations and maintain trust with your guests. With Minut, you can confidently monitor noise, prevent issues, and provide a better experience for everyone, all while staying within Airbnb’s policies.
