Hi Product Hunt! 👋 What inspired it: I'm a percussionist and sound designer, and I've always remembered places by how they sound: church bells over Aegina harbor, rain on an Istanbul street, waves against the hull while sailing. The real turning point came during an acoustic ecology project, when I recorded my neighborhood for 24 hours straight and then listened back through all of it to pull out samples and analyze them. It was slow, heavy work, and it made me want a simpler way for anyone to capture, see and study the sounds around them. The problem: Photos show us what a place looks like. Nothing kept what it sounds like, tied to where it happened, in a way others could explore and learn from. How it evolved: MapMySound first launched in 2018. Over the years I learned that many people who signed up never recorded a single sound, because they hit a login wall at exactly the moment they wanted to capture something. So this rebuilt version lets you press record with no sign-up; your sound is saved when you join. Every recording comes with a spectrogram and dB analysis, the tools I once did by hand, and Sound Route traces the path you walk. Last month seven of us tested it on a rainy evening walk through Aegina, recording everything from a pontoon bridge to a taverna kitchen. Free for 10 uploads; Premium is $3.99/month or $29.99/year. What sound from your city would you put on the map first? I'd love your feedback
