Hi Product Hunters, finally posting a product that I've worked on with @alfiewoodland for the last year or so.
Foundbite is an network that allows you to share and explore the sounds of the world with others. As well as having a feed and a profile, you can explore a map/soundscape of the world, find a place you're interested in and to listen to sounds that have been recorded there. It's a really quite a cool way to get a feel for a place! After some early experimentation we discovered that we needed to include photos to give the sound some context as to what was happening at the time but we've certainly found the still photos still leave something to the imagination and allow your mind to wander.
People have been using Foundbite to capture the sounds of nature, sports events and music. Here are some great examples:
Venice at Sunset: https://foundbite.co/9497984595
Street Music in New Orleans: https://foundbite.co/8408101742
Bullet train in Taiwan: https://foundbite.co/3188702070
Lighthouse on Rhode Island: https://foundbite.co/6846855499
Stokeswood playing in Atlanta: https://foundbite.co/8179716060
A mountain stream in Italy: https://foundbite.co/9459134084
I think it's about time a social network was made involving sound, we're giving it a punt! Let me know if you've got any questions!
