Description
Hey HN, I build "How Loud Is My Hotel?" as a simple way to check for possible loud noise near a hotel (or any other address) before booking it.I've had some negative experiences in the past so this automatically checks for things like nearby Clubs, Police Stations with sirens, big roads, railroads etc. and gives you a "noise score" based on them.It's free, works worldwide and needs no account. It estimates outside noise risk rather than measuring decibels, so building insulation and temporary noise aren’t included.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a single-page web app that queries OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API for nearby tags (highways, railways, clubs) and computes a weighted distance score.
Discussion
2 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: Score precision misleading - noise is subjective and context-dependent, Doesn't account for temporal factors (event schedules, working hours, seasonality), Oversimplifies to proximity-based calculation without activity patterns, False confidence from 0-100 scale despite high variability
Feature requests: Extend to apartment/flat rental listings, Account for event schedules and temporal noise patterns, Consider building orientation and sound insulation factors
